Should just be able to head down GSF I guess and use the one they stock?  Don't think you need a specific super douper  paddle uprated one if its a stock G.

Just a quick question, would you get a better clutch if you had the following mods:

PSD full blend charger
PSD tooth belt
GT inlet
De-wedge tb
G60 injectors
Jabba induction kit
4 Branch manifold
S/S exhaust system

Alvaro,a standard clutch will be OK( no GSF in the Azores unfortunately); Jezza, standard will handle the power, just won't last very long. Better with an uprated one.

well, i'm thinking about sachs or luk kit cluthes, and, has far i now,
i can get, for about 220 euros, a kit from luk, or 200 euros from sachs.
at my local(azores) vw oficial dealer, they want for about 480 euros for a standard one (that i think is sachs but no sure).
Do you now what brand equiped the G?
