ECS Tuning 2.0T TSI Stage 2 Performance Clutch Kit

When adding performance modifications to your TSI-equipped Volkswagen, you need a way to put the power to the ground. In tuned applications, increased torque demand often proves too much for the weak factory pressure plate, resulting in a slipping clutch unable to transfer torque efficiently. While clutch upgrades have become commonplace in the aftermarket, many include a single-mass, lightweight flywheel and sprung clutch hub - a drastic change from the OE dual-mass, unsprung setup. This setup is known to produce audible chatter from the transmission due to the decreased dampening provided by the single-mass flywheel - an undesirable solution for your daily-driven build. Thankfully, our engineers have bridged the gap with an all-new stock-architecture upgrade. Keep your OE dual-mass flywheel while increasing torque holding capability!

Our 2.0T TSI Stage 2 Performance Clutch Kit is engineered to hold increased torque reliably, and features specifically-selected components to ensure optimal performance while maintaining drivability. Like the OE clutch disc, our performance upgrade features an unsprung hub, designed to be used with a dual-mass flywheel. However, the similarities end here. The disc's friction material composition was carefully engineered to increase grip, heat dissipation, and longevity. Despite this massive increase in power-holding capability, its full-faced nature ensures smooth engagement and comfortable drivability. Additionally, our engineers chose to increase the pressure plate's clamping load, ensuring this clutch will not slip in tuned applications. 

DESIGN

• CLUTCH DISC
  • 240mm full-face, high-performance organic friction material with optimized material composition for increased grip, heat dissipation, and longevity
  • OE-like unsprung hub, designed to be used with a dual-mass flywheel
• PRESSURE PLATE
  • Increased clamping force over the OEM pressure plate, rated at 1,685lbs of pressure

PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT

Our Stage 2 Stock Architecture Clutch Kit was tested and quality inspected by our Research and Development team in our Wadsworth, Ohio, facility. We strive for the highest level of precision and quality through leading-edge product development technology, including FARO laser scanning for reverse engineering and quality inspection, SolidWorks 3D CAD modeling, rapid prototyping utilizing our in-house 3D printer, and rigorous long-term product testing.

INSTALLATION & SUPPORT

For hassle-free installation, we've provided detailed step-by-step installation instructions, break-in recommendations, and hydraulic system bleeding support. These detailed references are designed to guide you through the process using common hand tools, ensuring professional-quality installation without the guesswork.

* This kit is designed for the TSI engine only. This can easily be found on the engine cover of your 2.0T. It will clearly be stamped TSI. Will also fit Golf R.
