I'm not sure on the clutch, but I think the weak link in this car is the dual mass flywheel. I have stage 2 and DPF delete and my clutch is holding fine, but the flywheel shakes like all hell under peak torque conditions.
Thats what I'm doing for now. I'm trying to get the full life out of my OE clutch before upgrading (I did pay for it when I bought the car after all
). The shake isn't hard to avoid, but is very annoying when I want to pass or accelerate without shifting (the lack of downshifting is one of my favorite reasons for owning a TDI). It only seems to occur under heavy loads between 1800-2200 which is right where my peak torque is per my dyno graph.
Do you have a Passat or a Golf, or both? Just curious, because the Passat motor and the Golf motor are not the same.
Golf. I know they are different engine codes but I think you are deleting a lot of the differences in the context of this thread. The biggest differences are emissions related.
Not really, you joined this thread asking about flywheel for the manual on your CJAA motor. You mentioned 352 lb\ft and 185 HP, most likely a CRKA, the motor found in the Passat will not make those torque numbers with just a stage 2 tune, and a DPF/NOX/Adblue delete. There are 3 major differences between the motors. CJAA has an Air to Air intercooler, Piezo Injectors, and a larger Turbo. The CRKA has Air to Water, Solenoid injectors, and a Smaller Turbo. The CRKA hits the power band sooner, but won't hit near the same peak numbers.
I did not know about the different turbo and the fact that the injectors were THAT different. I did know about the IC. Yes my engine is a CJAA. As far as transmissions go, I don't see why they would be any different in either car.
I've seen conflicting comments on the turbo through many different threads on here. Some say the passat turbo is smaller while others say it's larger. Don't think I've seen any that say it's the same, but just clarifying: Is the passat turbo smaller or bigger than the Golf/JSW turbo?
The Passat has a Borg Warner BV40 while the Golf, Jetta, Beetle, and Audi A3 have the larger Borg Warner BV43.
Mine, doesn't do that. No shaking at all and it's a DSG.
The reason people get confused, is because the power comes on sooner in the Passat than the JSW/Golf. For some reason people equate that with a larger turbo.
This is very easy to fix, bro. Tell your Malone dealer you have flywheel shudder and he'll reflash your ECU with a tune specifically to address the small percentage of cars that have this shudder at Stage 2 power levels. You'll be able to hammer down at any RPM without shudder and the slight reduction in torque is barely noticeable, compared to the shuddering you get now.Thats what I'm doing for now.

Any updates???
Running a high flow can and I guess I'm running about 100 degrees higher than before for EGT's. MPG's still around 36-38.
As with any mod done to increase power, he'll see a decent dip in the trend until the smile disappears and he keeps his foot out of the skinny pedal lol.
please stop
My comment was made for a different reason that has been discussed and handled already - carry on.
