@hedw30

I'm using vw late model trans... sounds simple right?

But the key to make my trans live longer is to use a good clutch combination

Back when I use K.E.P Stage III & Daiken disc I think it's too heavy and It slip when boost.

I've decide to up grade to a softer and able to hold 240 hp from the engine,

I chose K.E.P Stage II & ACE Copper Head disc

It feel smooth when you release the clutch paddle but don't slip when boost.
