I would strongly advise against that clutch. Your TDI is not putting out 450hp, and those puck-type clutches are just not gonna drive as well for a street-oriented car.I just spoke to them on the phone. The clutch they sell to most VW guys is a 6-puck ceramic, which they say is good for around 450 HP. I asked about a full-face ceramic, and he said it might be a little easier to drive, but probably wouldn't hold as much power. He quoted me $400 for the clutch, pressure plate, and flywheel resurface. I'm gonna try to go up there tomorrow.
TDIs use special diesel specific clutches because of the harmonic and NVH naturally present in the engine.
South Bend Stage 2 Endurance is the move for most cars. My car has .260s, 11mm and VNT17, it’s not slipping at all and is a 100% daily friendly clutch. It’s probably more than I need.
With clutches I always recommend buy once cry once… they’re not so easy to change
