How much Psi can the stock clutch handle?

[fk7hatchbrian]

Hi everyone I’m new to the k tuner scene and I was just curious to know if any of you know how much psi the stock clutch can handle. On sport mode I have it on 21 psi and Econ mode I selected 18. I drive a sport hatch. I plan on getting a six puck clutch soon

you should talk about nm / lb and rpm,
not the turbo pressure


The torque slips the clutch, but 300 nm at 2000 rpm are different from 300 nm to 3500 rpm

There is not really a PSI limit. What the clutch can handle will heavily depend on your driving style, in addition to vehicle mods. My advice is to run whatever boost level you are comfortable with, and keep an eye out for clutch slippage. If you do see some, (unlikely on a base map) adjust either the power levels or your driving style.

Got cha makes sense I’m asking you guys because I’m new to all this stuff never had a turbo car before. I really want to learn all I can. What do you mean power levels? Can you be a bit more specific my apologies if I’m not understanding just want to learn and make sure I have an idea what your talking about. Thanks

What exactly is nm? I’m new to this ever had a turbo car. Can you better explain that for me? I’d really appreciate it.

nm = newton meters. It’s the metric version of lb/ft of torque.

As been stated it's not a matter of boost. From what I've found speaking with other tuners is the stock clutch is good to about 240ish ft lb, give or take 10 depending how you drive it and miles on it

Yeah it's all about the torque numbers. I am on stock clutch and run a max 25psi
