Just did it today and man, I got in the car and it revved higher on startup. Felt like a race car. I guess I was a bit skeptical after having bought one for my E39 M5 and Corvette that there was no noticeable difference but man, I WAS WRONG.


One thing was funny though, my clutch slipped in the cold, so I figured it was done for, we took it out and it looked brand new, ok, so maybe too much power for the pressure plate, put in a better sachs unit, and while better, still slippage in third. Only K24's ECU and exhaust @ 1.2 bar. Whatup with that?

Couldn't agree more, so necessary in Porsche Turbo's, the increased throttle response is amazing!

I sat in the car for a few minutes just revving because I couldnt believe how fast it revved. And then I went to test it and the car felt like it gained 50 hp. Boy I cant wait to see what it does on the track. YIPPIE!!!!!!!

Mine to slipped early on, but after 200 miles of easy break-in the slipping went away. Go easy at first and you will be happy forever...You'll get use to sitting at the light in neutral going,...cling..clang....cling...clang..chung...ch ung...cling..clang...LOL

My LWFW and clutch setup has absolutely 0 flywheel chatter, my M3 with a UUC stg 3 ceramic did, all depends on your setup!

It's loudest when stopped in traffic with cars on both sides of you. The rattle will echo off the cars beside you and it does sound like something is wrong or broken. You will also hear it on take-off. Once driving at speed there is no noise and the car drives and revs great with phenominal throttle response. If you can live with the noise at idle, in traffic and on take-off - you're all set. Personally, I don't care for the noise, but many don't mind it. It's very individual - sort of like exhaust sound.

RUF GT2 - You're lucky if you have the LWF with no noise - I could go for that...

Its insane I know.... Its a killer combo/setup they put together, absolutely 0 rattle trust me Have a listen, you would be able to hear it slightly on video in some of the closeups!
