Any longer term Stage 2 HDi clutch reports/verdicts?
#9
Ive been running a mr whippy stage 2 map for 35k miles now, it is on the factory fitted clutch (only done 20k when mapped)... I haven't been gentle on it and is now starting to slip if abused (full throttle from low low revs) but if I use the gears more it is fine and im sure itll have more life left in it.

Depending on how you drive, and if you don't totally abuse it, I feel one of the best options would be a standard (either genuine or a good oe replacement) part. Even more so if you are able to do the swap yourself and save some pennies, how many standard clutches can you get for the price of a helix? Let alone the difference in the drive (the harder pedal of the helix or the bite of a paddle)...

In my old car I opted for a helix and is was great, didn't get that many miles in it but handled it great. But this time, when its due to be replaced (approaching 60k now so don't think itll be much longer) I think it will be just a standard clutch going in and go from there.

Im sure all the mapping lads will confirm, but you can alter the mapping to suit, it doesn't have to be full torque at once, if you have a smooth enough torque curve you can still run the same power but make it a hell of a lot easier on the clutch.

That's just my opinion anyway
