1999 lpt 2.3 stage 3+ needs clutch advice.

[geck0]

As the title says i'm having clutch issues with my 1999 9-5 lpt it's been modified heavily, TD04-15hl turbo, 4 angle v.j. port work manifold work, 3.5 bar fpr and nordic stage 3+ ecm. So i'm in the range of 300hp. The stock clutch was replaced roughly 20k miles ago (before the mods) and now on the high way when reaching full boost the clutch starts slipping.

Whats the best route to go keeping price to a mininum. i am going to turn the stock flywheel at work (i assume this is not the f.w. balanced with the crank) and get a clutch/pressure plate and figure a slave too. Any advice is appreciated! Thanks!

And he will say the same thing he always does, that the Aero Clutch will hold 400 Ft/Lbs of torque and last a long time. The LPT clutch is a total wimp, killed mine in one week at stage 5+ ( at 100k miles)

SO get the Aero clutch

ok so aero clutch and pressure plate. and the flywheel IS machin-able without throwing off crank balance? (i had heard some saabs aren't)

btw i have a 95 2.0 turbo flywheel sitting in my garage is this interchangble??

a 95 ( as in yr) or 9-5 as in car flywheel? there were 9-5 2.0 available in the EU.

Teh 9-3 ahs a difernet flywheel, smaller sruface. It can be machined no problem.
