Good choice. That should spool quick. A 0.82 3071R was making 8psi @ 3200rpm on my mate's Evo 9, but that engine does flow lots.

Yeah I've got the same issue. 9lb Cromoly flywheel with Helix clutch. Judders a bit pulling away. Can live with it though.

let me know what the SPEC clutch is like as I've had trouble with yank clutches chattering really badly in the past.
i have broken both with less power in my polo (373bhp/350lb/ft)
o2m boxes aint that tough

The O2M has gears twice the size of the 02A/J so you're doing well to break that. Do you do 1/4 launching with slicks?
Maybe the 6 pot O2Ms are stronger because I've seen 500whp/tq R32 turbos lay down the power repeatedly with no gear strippage.
Strange it went though. I've been putting 400hp/tq through the 02A in my Corrado daily for 2 years and it's holding fine. Getting clattery mind, but holding
Oh well, maybe I'll rethink the 02M conversion then and maybes go with an SQS gearset instead.
