This is what makes me think twice about spending the money on an upgrade when most I'd want is stage 2

Your one lucky Git!

I think as mine now slips if you let it wind boost up between the 2000-2400 area where it pulls like a boss Im going to order one of those sachs berlingo kits and hope she holds without being a tool and 2nd gear launches and 5th gear up big hill with boot full of stuff and give what tb205gti did.
Quoted from him
put a spacer between the springs and the plate, this uprates the pressure force it is made with a ~10mm thick steel ring When it is able to hold 400Nm at 2100 rpm, then I see no point in having paddle clutches, clutches without dampening etc. This one just works like a std. clutch..
As 400nm is about 295lbs ft im sure thats more than any stage 2 hdi is throwing out without extensive work done.
