Clutch limit

[cabbage31]

Does anyone know the maximum torque that can safely be put through a 1.8 TFSI clutch (manual)

Most stage 1 remaps are around 340 - 375 Nm (245-275 lbft)

Would it be likely to slip with these torque figure?

Should be fine, it’s only Stg1. I suspect it’s the same clutch as the 2.0. You may find it hard to get info or mods for the 1.8.

Shouldn't the clutch be the same on all non S models if gearbox is the same? If so, 2.0 TDI 8P can hold anywhere between 405 and 435Nm so I'd say you're perfectly fine with stage 1.
