I've read a lot of back and forth, some say a CR170 and upgraded clutch is incredible. Some say it isn't worth the money and to go straight for a GTD1756VRK... I have a manual 2010 JSW which is my daily car. Most of its use is highway, however there are plenty of times where I am in very heavy, stop and go traffic, so a super stiff and grabby clutch isn't exactly ideal. From the specs, it looks like a SACHS performance clutch is rated for 400FtLbs which will be more than enough and close to stock pedal feel. MecEvo Link for reference (https://mecevo.com/parts/sachs_performance_dual_mass_flywheel_kit_with_sre_performance_kit.html). Currently, the car has the stock CR140 turbo with a mecevo 2.5" downpipe and malone stage 2. The car is not fast, but it gets out of its own way far better than it did stock, and now I can merge unto highways without getting run down. When a component inevitably fails, be it clutch or turbo or god forbid the brass shift forks.. I will be upgrading the clutch and turbo. I would like to minimize spending to the greatest extent possible, however mecevo also offers an upgraded HPFP good for 300 wheel hp, considering its a direct bolt on I am going to assume its a Bosch CP4 (https://mecevo.com/parts/high_fueling_cr140cr150_hpfp.html).
Does anyone have experience with a daily GTD1756VRK? Do you think its worth twice what a CR170 costs? Can you exceed 400Ftlbs with stock fueling?
Just a lot of questions, to me, the sachs performance clutch and a CR170 with the stock fuel pump and tune will be the best daily driver path forward.
