My friend has a 2004 VW 1.8t and just upgraded to the APR Stage II tuned/chipped ECU. First to break was the clutch and now he needs some guidance on what to get. Must be reasonably priced (whole clutch kit) $450~ and come with all the necessary hardware. What would be the best stage II/non-stock replacement clutch for his application?

\*Note : ECS Tuning/APR claims the car makes 247ft/lbs

Thanks for the help

He will need the duel mass flywheel resurfaced. bring it to Hunts cause NAPA will look at you like this :confused and then this :lol unless he plans on getting a new flywheel
