HI every one who has doubts about awesome gti clutches .
3 years ago i uprated my mapped 225 bhp audi a3 and fitted a clutch kit and lightened flywheel (an ecs unit) from the guys at awesome and i must say i never looked back.
i used my car on numerous track days etc with out a single glitch the clutches are top quality and the guys at awesome are second to none with a brilliant customer service who i have found hard to beat.
so please dont critisize these guys untill you have used them.
i cant name a couple of companies much bigger than awesome who dont give a damn after they take your money at least awesome care.
ALAS i no longer use the audi but now have a leon cupra and i will be getting a clutch upgrade for that from awesome

Yep I can't imagin Awsome selling crap. Batmans going to be pee'd when he finds out though.
Glad that the general conclusion is the same as my first and original post - Awesome GTI clutch worth every penny!
Why should we believe you?
But seriously, that's great news I'm 100% going for this clutch might be the next thing I do
I tell you now, you wont be disappointed. Its genuinely silent aswell. Which, is the first ever SMF kit that I've found that is.
So glad that someone else agrees with me
after a certain person ruined my thread! Lol
So glad that someone else agrees with me
he did help to promote the thread in a funny sort of way!
Made the reverse effect than what he wanted, i think.

Just spoke to my mate who fitted this kit before Christmas, it's the same mate who Chriswaite stated had a Techniclutch sticker on it. Yes it did have a sticker but this doesn't mean the full clutch kit is made from Techniclutch!
Just because the the pressure plate is the same doesn't mean the rest is as the Awesome kit uses a OEM release bearing, friction plate being of a carbon composite (Not kevlar like the techniclutch) and could use a different flywheel.
My mate hasn't had a problem with the kit and I've started saving to get one as it seems a very good price for what you get.
Regards to it being silent he said when first fitted there was a slight rattle which has now gone but people have this problem with most 'silent' kits
And before people say mine hasn't got a sticker on this is properly because awesome have started removing them due to people getting the wrong idea about there kit.

Quick question for those running this clutch... what power levels are you at? I will be looking for a clutch that can handle around 400bhp and the high 300 ft/lbs
would the clutch handle this?
would the clutch handle this?
paul-murphys
efr 6758 here i come
i emailed them and got told by mike cant guarantee them with close to 400 lbs ft i was in same boat but have gone with a helix 6 paddle clutch for this reason,
Im running 280bhp and 313lb torque on this clutch. I was told it could handle circa 400lb torque as they have it on a tuned diesel
Any updates from the guys running this, are you still happy or have you had any problems? just orderd one to go on my tdi, anyone got it on a tdi?
No problems mate. It's perfect
again I think it stands it's the best single mass clutch for its money.Similar threads
