to josh, and polo_spec_d, and anyone else in the know- how many nm are the clutches in our polo tdi's rated to?

i simply ask because on the club, basic stage 1 mods seem to be (in one package, before uprating turbo to gt17XX):

-nozzles
-remap
-clutch

and uprated smic or other oem fmic come with bigger turbo, another remap, etc etc.

how long you guys give our clutches at 315-325nm?

and in terms of remaps, apparently the KP39 in the golf 4 diesel is slightly smaller than the vnt15's in ours- but one guy on the club had a rocketchip stage one tune done, and was told not to play ALL the time, as he was near the limits of how much boost the turbo could take- would oettinger do the same to the vnt 15 as a similar tune to a slightly smaller turbo? or are we fine?

thoughts guys!!!

cheers....

p.s. please correct me here if im wrong, as i also read somewhere that the polo tdi has a KKK turbo and not a garrett...

[peedman]

I thought all the VNT turbos were garrett??

[Buller_Scott]

so did i, but i also saw a list stating that the 100ps 1.9 pd engine in the >2005 polo was a KKK turbo.

i really should take these websites' urls down...

Well im going to 320Nm next week and a new clutch will be on the cards not long after that due to the amount of kms I rack up.

I have read that our clutches are good for 420nm!!!! But im abit suss about that so if someone has a back up figure to that?

I would think we should be fine with the remap, is the PD130 running a larger turbo or same one as PD100?

Sorry Scott to answer your question with another question.

lol its all good. i do that ALL the time.

as far as im aware, the pd100 (our ones) has a garrett gt1525 (i think) and the pd130's in the tdi sportline in south africa, as far as i have read, are the garrett gt1749va. but ive read alot of people in ZA complaining that these turbos like to blow, and they recommend the gt1749vb (same as in golf 2.0 tdi, im pretty sure) as a good, reliable upgrade.

420nm- if that's the case, then that's sweet- looks like our stock cars really SHOULD be able to handle a modest stage one retune, and then some (exhaust, ic upgrades etc).

I'd be interested to see how our stock turbos hold out/ how many clicks they hold out for, with different tunes.

are you guys planning on waiting until your turbo blows to upgrade? or pre-emptively changing turbos before that happens?

bro your clutch will be fine, i've been running 300nm on the stock clutch for thousands of kms without a hitch, spend the extra dough on a FMIC
looking forward to meeting you all!!!
