UPRATED CLUTCH
Hi all
Had the car remapped about a month ago and I don't thing the clutch is handling the extra power to well. Sometimes
on hard acceleration the car just sits there and then the smell of clutch burning, so what is the best clutch upgrade
kit to use? Any suggestions please.
Cheers Andy.

Re: dump valve
Hi, I have a splitter R dv set at 50/50 atmos & recirc on my 1.8t & it makes a noise. Have you got the spring setting set too strong you are only running 5/6psi standard and when remapped it will be around 15psi & a lot louder.

Re: Dump Valve Problem
Thanks for all the help Ross Dv fitted and working well it's a bit louder than I expected on standed boost should sound well when remapped. Would of been fitted a lot sooner if I wouldn't have been looking at the wrong valve. My excuse is it's my 1st turbo motor and i'm sticking to it. Thanks Andy.

Re: Dump Valve Problem
Thank Ross
Sounds like a nono then, what about the cold side valve i've read that it doesn't affect the MAF sensor, when I sort this out i'm putting an induction kit on then i'm having it remapped.
