New clutch/flywheel/cmc are in now. It feels very good. Still working on normal driving it. Rowed through the gears a bit to see how it was and that feels awesome.
I really dig the 6 puck...gonna take some getting used to though. The chatter is very minimal.
Problem though...either my boost gauge stopped working while at DB or I am only boosting 22psi now :?:
I had to go pick my wheel lock up at DB today and Danny and I boost leak tested it and it held 30psi with no leaks. Soooo, very confused now. Before my gauge never went below like 26 which agreed with the dyno plot at wot after spool. Now it never goes above 23-24:(
Shane said the new WGA could be affecting the car since the X is load based. So maybe DB fixed another IC pipe leak or something and I am in different load cells...who knows. Time to go back to the dyno soon i guess.

Good to hear on the clutch! Once it's broken in you wont get anymore chatter. I know I love my 6 puck. I would try swapping out the boost gauge with a different one just to make sure. Before you spend the money for another dyno tune.

I am planning on getting another gauge soon since mine maxes at 30psi and i am running more than that.
However, I was planning on a retune in a few weeks regardless since I now have a good clutch in that can take some more torque...upping the boost to 33ish and hopefully with my new wastegate we could get some more power.

Here is the stock clutch/flywheel combo out...doesn't look terrible. I am really liking the 6 puck..still getting used to the stiffness but if feels great.

Holy heat batman! 6 pucks are great. Easy to DD but holds the power when you need it. I've had them on all my manual transmission cars and have never had one fail me.

I am digging the 6 puck for sure...I will likely go with another one when the time calls for it...but we will see, still early to tell.
There was some heat there for sure, lots of hot spots. But the clutch was still holding when i took it out.
Now i just need to find out what is up with my boost.

Shane put it in 'new clutch' mode when you weren't looking. :rollinglaugh:

Hmmm...so my wheel/tire combo didn't fit, lol.
Well it did, but couldn't turn enough to where i would feel comfortable driving up front...need negative camber.
Any recommendations of somewhere i can go, like over lunch where they could set me up with some negative camber?
Is this an easy task to do, or extensive? I would prefer not to have jeff the alignment guy do this since i will need him after all is said and done and would prefer to just do this once.
However, the wheels looked badass, i should've snapped a pic. Tires are the sex too.
