options with valeo smh clutch kit

[s3kirk]

hey guys,
I'm currently running at what I assume is the limit of my valeo smf clutch kit (currently running 315lbft)
I would like to keep the flywheel as i have had it machined down to 7.5kg and upgrade the clutch to a paddle item (something that can take launches and hybrid turbo power) A quick search led me to believe that valeo flywheels will not work with oem clutches, will that mean sachs paddle clutches are out of the question? should i cut my losses and buy a new clutch and smf set up? barely done 2000 miles so keeping the flywheel and buying just the clutch would be cheaper and ideal for me. Anyone have a good set up/combination with the valeo smf that will take 360bhp/lbft + ?(looking to eventually run meth with hybrid)

Good question. I am looking for a SMF kit too that will hold that kind of power as my DMF started making noises.
How does Valeo SMF compares to SPI clutches SMF kit or National ck10005f?
Which kit would hold most power?
Any experience anyone?

If it's 5 speed the smf conversion in my car at least if G60 flywheel and Vr6 clutch kit. So if I were you I would be looking at a stage 3 Vr6 clutch kit to make it more able to manage the torque.

Mines a 6 speed (s3) don't think the vr6 combo works with my gearbox

Should be OK I ran standard vr6 Sach clutch with g60 flywheel with 339lbft no problem 6spd standard holds more being bigger clutch.
