Labour to fit is about £150 although I'm sure a dealer will charge more.

I'm also one of Marks satisfied customers.

Question

WRXKM could you post how much you are quoted all in and what sort of power it can handle?

Have a few mods going on, and could be in the market for one myself.

Cheers,
Ant

Thumbs up

Hi Nick

Best speak to Mark on this as he sources them, all I know is that they are organic, not paddle, more expensive than OE but very competitive compared to AP. It was a direct replacement on mine (it comes with cover plate and release bearing) so it should slot straight into yours. Oh and it can handle much more torque than I will ever throw at it

It came reccommended by a friend and I cannot fault the product or the service - however I do not know the company that actually makes it!

So how much power are we talking???


The reason why I am asking is I have quite a few mods planned and am already running Nos a the min

Clutch seems ok at the min but it is possible to make it slip when gas cuts in if ya not fast enough with clutch if you know what I mean!!!!

Say around 300BHP give or take!!

Have full de-cat at the mo, and have TEK2 going on this week, which I will get use to before getting a TEK3 remap.

What jets are you running on your NOS system? Would be cool to have an extra 50BHP on standby just to help you out on those occasions when you need it!! Have you upgraded any other parts of the engine to cope with the power you want?

have a word with mar, that is the only way you will get the right info.

I have one of marks clucthes and am intending to run much more than the torque quoted here, but then I have a different model.

Speak to mark, its the only way,
