Stage 3 Performance Clutch Kit With Lightweight Forged Steel Flywheel (18.85lbs) for VW MK4 1.8T, MK5 / MK6 2.0T FSI & TSI, MK7 2.0T Gen3 with 6 Speed Manual Transmission
All
too often most stock frame turbo upgrades produce power levels that
would have required a heavy duty clutch kit that broke the bank (and
your left leg), while our Stage 2 clutch kit was just on the cusp of
maximum torque capacity most of these turbos are capable of producing.
Our ECS Tuning In-House Engineered Stage 3 Clutch Kit bridges the gap in
the market between ease of driving, price and torque holding capacity.
This clutch kit continues our legacy of
designing and creating top quality, affordable clutch and flywheel kits.
Now available for your VW or Audi 4 cylinder gasoline 6 speed manual
platform (or similar) with power levels up to 450 ft/lbs. of crank
torque.
Our
Stage 3 Clutch Kit withstood the abuse that our ECS Tuning "Racewagen",
an HPA OEM+ IS38 equipped, threw at it for over an entire race season,
and it's still holding strong!

PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT
From inception to completion, over a
lengthy development process and multiple designs tested and re-tested,
we are proud to finally offer what we believe is the very best clutch
kit in this market, at the very best price! We partnered with a global
clutch manufacturer for a performance clutch disc and pressure plate
that met our standards and reliably holds 450 ft/lbs of torque. We
designed and engineered our single mass lightweight flywheel and sent it
out to a third-party balancing company for SFI 1.1 design testing.
Although each flywheel is not numerically certified for SFI, the design
meets all requirements for SFI 1.1 Certification.
Our Clutch and Flywheel Kits were
tested and quality inspected by our Research and Development team in our
Wadsworth, Ohio facility. We strive for the highest level of precision
and quality through leading edge product development technology
including FARO laser scanning for reverse engineering and quality
inspection, SolidWorks 3D CAD modeling, rapid prototyping utilizing our
in-house 3D printer, and rigorous long term product testing.
