I know i can't take both... it would be a disaster..


So? Whats the best mod to get?




Flywheel/Clutch:

Much better flywheel and clutch then oem

Good weight reduction in the front of the car (25lbs)?

Car responds better during accelleration

Dosent add any HP,

Pricey


Underdrive pulley:

Adds maybe 5 to 8 whp

Small weight reduction (5lbs)

Inexpensive

Why not?????????


I went with a Light weight G60 Flywheel and VR6 clutch in my 1.8T Jetta and loved it. Reved much quiker, and made full boost a bit earlier than normal.


I have the Option Racing Crank pulley on my CLS now and like it. Seems to pull better in the lower RPM range. Less pedal to get going too.


For you I'd say go with both. You can afford it if you are considering the Flywheel. The Option Racing pulley is like $24.00 Shipped. Going both will maximize you gains. I think they would complement each other well.

Ok, thats a five year old post. and the problem might have been fixed.

But I don't see anything about using the Crank pulley and light weight flywheel together. Why would that be a bad combo.

Seems like all that thread would do is answer you original question about the flywheel. Does'nt seem to have anthing to do with the both of them being used at the same time.

 

You're removing all the dampening from the crank when you go a lightweight flywheel and pulley. With the Comptech flywheel, you still use a stock pressure plate and it's the weak link. If there was a stronger pressure plate, then it may be worth risking.

Doing both is flirting with disaster.

 

This isn't really true. The pulley doesn't add any power, it just unlocks some power that was already there. An Underdrive pulley takes less HP to spin therefore it allows more hp to be put to the wheels.

 

i second that!

 

If you read on you'll see that using both together destroyed transmission components

 

CT discontinued the flywheel.
Sites may list it still but it's gone. Call CT to confirm.

 

That would be awfully hard to figure out! I'll bet it was just speculation! There are so many other contributing factors.

Good luck, either way you go!

 

i agree but the risk is too great. there were a few people who tried it thinking that it was just coincidence and realized they just had a $1500+ bill on their hands. Better safe than sorry IMO

 

There are multiple people that did both and had problems. There was even one guy with a 3rd gen TL.
