UMW sachs stage 2 clutch and LWFW, stalls sometimes?

Has anyone with this clutch and flywheel setup, or something similiar, experienced more stalls in general? Usually happens in the parking lot, sometimes the revs will dip down below that point of no return and the car will stall, even though im sure the clutch is all the way in.
Do I need an ecu tune or can this be adjusted?

Welcome to the world of LWFW. Your tuner should be able to help you with that...

and some practice...

im guessing a tune would void the warranty, just like any giac or UMW flash, for example.

Depends...some dealers might offer a flash that "allegedly" don't void any warrantees. It's a very delicate balance between having a modded car and a modded car with a warranty.

For me it was quicker revving and quicker throttle response which results in quicker acceleration. With a LWFW, you will have 20 less lbs hanging on the end of your crank. The downside is the engine can be 'brought down" to idle much easier and quicker, with less mass, resulting in potential stalling issues. The LWFW does change how your clutch feels, however you can get used to it.

What ttboost said. Just to have some fun, I like how it revs and accelerates.

I actually didn't like it at first and bought a stock dual mass FW to put back in, as my original was toast. I got used to it and now just have a spare DMFW...

OK so.....hows that wkn out for ya?.....if you don't mind me asking.

No doubt, our cars are known for poor for throttle responce (Porsche early eGas)......curious whether you can say responce in throttle blips are noticibly changed w/ that FW......TIA.

BTW....where I'm from....I have the Sachs Motorsports clutch to handle approx 600 at the crank......no LWFW.

There are MANY here with at least 600 crank and most have the LWFW. I think my cars performance is greatly enhanced by my LWFW...gonna keep it... There are many things that can effect throttle response. The LWFW has a huge bearing on how quick response is when you "blip" the throttle...

mine did the same thingi just keep the revs up by useing a little heel toe action when stoppin, works every time..i think you will find that your comp will learn about the lwf and the stall will lessen, mind did

Kevin told me the only way he'd "correct" it for me was if I bought an entire tune from him.
