B8 3.0tdi v6 clutch upgrade

Featured Replies

I’m looking to push some serious power out of my Audi, planning on doing intercooler, fuel injectors, hybrid turbo. Obviously starting with the foundation, will do a SMF conversion with a clutch upgrade.. can someone recommend some reputable brands who sell the kits in whole, does a new concentric slave need to be purchased also?

Just looking for direction I guess, it’s my first time really investing into a car for performance.

If current gearbox is ZF Tiptronic 6-speed, then it should handle any increased power output. From stock the 3.0 TDI V6 was 240PS, although that's when it rolled off the production line. Just bear in mind, new injectors, turbo and intercooler won't be cheap, then you get into argument of investing into 18 year old car. At the end of the day - it's your money.

Darkside Developments is a good call. Like all mapping, you want a rolling road to test before and after, otherwise it's hearsay on any extra torque.

As far as I know S Tronic 7 speed boxes were 2010 onward. Tiptronic 8-speed was introduced 2011 on the A5.

Sorry I should’ve been more specific, it’s the 6speed manual
