Clutch upgrade for manual transmission

[mankka]

I have 2014 S3 Sedan with manual transmission. I have Revo stage 2, downpipe and VWR R600. Now engine makes so much torque that clutch is slipping badly.

I need new stronger clutch. What options do I have?

I have consider to use the original flywheel if possible. How strong original flywheel is or do I have to replace it also?

odd. there are dsg cars running this setup with no issues..
maybe your clutch got weakened due to driver error overtime

the manual b8 s4's slipped with stage2 also. you have to be easy on the clutch or upgrade. I haven't heard of any clutch upgrades for s3's yet, but that's probably because there are no manuals in the U.S.

It's not surprising that the OEM clutch would slip - there's a ton more torque added once you tune these things, or most FI Audi's, and probably puts the motor far outside the torque clamping limits of a factory clutch.

Regarding the DSG though, there are a few clutch upgrades available in Europe in the form of upgraded "clutch packs." From my understanding they are pretty finicky to install and aren't cheap either.
