Soon i will be fitting a MD321 turbo etc and having it mapped so along with its other mods its gona be 400bhp give or take,what is the clutch ok with.
At what point is the clutch under its most stess.

I am running the MD321T @ 445bhp on my 04 STi, Standard clutch 36k on her. My clutch was quite a bit worn before fitting the T and the bite point is right at the end of the pedal travel but seems to be holding out good so far with no slippage.
Will see in two weeks time how it goes on the 1/4 mile.

This is good,just normal use for me with the odd blast or two or three etc.
Good luck on the 1/4 let me know if it holds.

So as I fitted mine the std. clutch started slipping, 45,000 miles old, before it even got to a re-map....

4K rpm in sixth was the first symptom, then in fifth, etc.....

On removal it still has plenty of "meat", but just couldn't cope with the torque.

650cc @ standard 3bar fuel pressure

My clutch used to slip when I was running my VF35 @ 350bhp 310lb ft. It was a very aggresive map and would fly to max BHP/torque rapidly then die down. I changed my mapper to Andy F who got 340/340 with a nice power curve and no clutch slippage. Andy then mapped it again with the T and still no slippage. Running 372lb ft torque but you guys on the mainland get better figures as we only have 97ron here in Norn Iron!
