Engine Mods with a new Dual Mass Clutch

[cameroncalver]

Hello i have a 1998 subaru outback and all i have is 2.5 straight through exhaust and CAI just wondering , my clutch died so new one putting in in next few days (1600 dollars later) i did some research and it said performance mods will just destroy my new clutch because the springs are set to a certain torque ? my engine mods are very minimal but will that be enough to destroy my new one?

You should be OK as folks have run low boost on stock 2.5l clutches (I was able to run up to 7psi of boost on a stock 2.5l pp & a 6puc disk before it started slipping & my wagon ran 13.8 @ 8-8.5psi of boost).

You'll be fine. In most cases premature clutch failure is due to poor driving technique. I used to work in the performance aftermarket industry and my company actually recommended stock clutches for most high-power applications. Some of the performance clutches would just engage too quickly, and with a lot of power it would be easier to break other drivetrain parts.

BTW, the springs in the friction area of the clutch are to reduce vibration. When the clutch is engaged it isn't always 100% concentric so the springs take up the difference.
