If I was to do mine again I would be seriously be looking at the JHM kit https://jhmotorsports.com/shop/catalog/ ... 56_310_313

The kits out there now are over priced compared to the value of what the cars can be picked up for they where worth it when they came out 4-5 years ago as they cars where a lot more money and the miles where still low.

You will need to go for a performance clutch at some point its ok to say the OEM clutch will last if you don't launch it etc but you will want to. I am on my second now the first is below was meant to be good for 540bhp I think, now I am on the sintered one.

Stage 3 clutch is pretty much mandatory with boosted RS4's... same with breaks...

my humble opinion.

Can you go to a stage 3 clutch and retain the dual mass fly wheel ?

Im supercharged for the past 20k miles and can't complain at all:)
Just make sure that all the supports parts are done too like all the motor mounts and stuff like that, a new clutch is a must!

mines been supercharged for near 20k too and had the original stock clutch and has never been an issue atall , even did around a dozen launches at the drag strip and its been fine every time , but those launches were not side stepping at 7k lol 2800 ish and smooth , but if i did need a new clutch i would probbly fit a stronger one but wouldnt be fitting paddle ones , not good for everyday driving
