Contact southbend clutch directly.... www.dxdracingclutches.com

I rock the sb stg3 on my chipped 1.8t, and it's been totally reliable. Their customer service is some of the best I've ever heard of.

Talk to mike@dth You should be able to get a stage 2 or 3 for that much.

He can can get your fw resurffaced too if it's not too worn.

If it were me, I'd go with the 16lb spec flywheel. just resurfacing your stock flywheel would be fine though.

arite I talked to the guys at DTH they're recomending this

http://shop.dthaus.com/product.sc?pr...&categoryId=83

they said they can have southbend resurface the flywheel for free as well

this seems to be pretty solid, any last words of advice?

I feel so dumb... I found out southbend clutches were named that after the city thats about 45 min away... here me thinking its a brand lol. So good news for me I can probably work it out to drop the fw off and pick up my clutch and wait around a little till the FW is resurfaced! woo hoo! Saves me on shipping. You sould know that Soutbend will resurface your FW free w/ clutch purchase so if your only going for that clutch don't bother upgrading the FW. Im going stage 3 because I don't think doing an all out awd launch at 4k will be good for even a stage 2.
