Hey guys,

Ive got the hatch in manual, does anyone else find the clutch to be suuuper light? Thinking of running the flashpro but my buddy who's a lot more knowledgeable than I in these circles said that the increased torque could pose a problem with such a weak clutch. Any thoughts?

We already know how much the clutch will hold.

The clutch will hold ~250wtq or so reliably for a while. Lets go in the 260-280wtq area.

and I guess currently of course there arent any preventative measures or aftermarket clutches available to ensure a long life while running the new tune?

I just tune customer cars under the torque limit for the clutch and it will hold up just fine. Aftermarket is in the works.

So then do you feel comfortable saying that with the base tune theres no reason for the clutch not to hold up to a regular life span

Correct, you'll be perfectly fine, those maps are nowhere near the limits of what you can do.
