shes branded as a 'panther' clutch, but i heard its just a fancy valeo clutch that hold more torque lol, heres the page i bought it off

and yes, its a bastard to get it fitted right, but a gti6 clutch will hold the torque of stage 2

Erm, can you get details on this? I.e is it an updated pressure plate, what's the friction material etc...

Thrust bearing exploaded after about 15 miles or so, and the clutch is just generally very badly made, avoid at all costs! I am now running a gti6 clutch kit and it is holding power very well, i am very pleased with the gti6 clutch and so far recommend it.. Getting car mapped today, more updates to follow
I wouldnt suggest writting the above in one thread and then trying to sell on the same forum.

Not being funny mate but a standard HDi valeo will take more than that. Some stage 2 HDis are getting close to 300lb/ft

^^^ IF you get a good map then a GTi6 clutch wont hold the power
if you get a lower quality map it will hold.

^^^ This
Panther clutches are LUK clutches rebranded, i think the plates are modified or 'replated'. Either way should not be capable of sustaining true prelonged stage 2 torque imo.
