Well... it looks like the turbo, clutch and flywheel are on their last lets on my 03' ALH :eek: The clutch has slipped a handful of times, and there is now a strange chatter/clunking noise coming from the tranny bellhousing. Also the car smokes a ton under WOT... hard to tell the color.. but my oil lvl is going down ever so slowlyyy. I'll pull the intercooler tonight and see if there is a pool of oil tonight :confused:

Being a full-time student... my budget is a little tight; but I figured if I am going to go through with this, I mines well upgrade!

So I was looking at at VNT17 & vr6 clutch kit.. seems the most budget friendly after all. Could I run these mods decently on a otherwise stock ALH? I don't have a EGT gauge so I won't be driving it super hard. And also.. I know the vr6 kit is rated at 300ft lbs of torque.. but would it hold up to a vnt17 paired with nozzles & a tune (I'll be getting a stage 3 and titan 764s prolly later on)?
