Leading evidence: 'oem' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, the most frequently mentioned possible cause is 'oem' (1 discussions; 0 report identifying it and 1 suggest it). No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

Probably the worst case of this "tax" is the AC Compressor.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

what is the foot-pounds of an OEM kit, mine has a bit of heavy pedal, I really don't mind
do the heavy duty clutches add longevity ?
A Sachs kit is a Sachs kit... I've had mine (from Rock Auto) for roughly 5 years now (did it myself) and even after a FSI Stage II 3.8 track build (3.5 years ago) it's still going strong (Jake said it was fine...).
Porsche does not make any of the clutch parts, the flywheels are made by LUK and the pressure plates, clutch plates, throw out bearings, etc. are made by others, primarily Sachs. So if you go to a dealer and buy yhe kits you are paying the Porsche Tax for then to put it into a box with the Porsche name on it. Just go to one of the many sources for Porsche parts and buy the Sachs kit.
Probably the worst case of this "tax" is the AC Compressor. The Porsche list price for one is about $1,800. Rock Auto has the Denso compressor for about $275 and it is the exact same compressor that Porsche sells. I replaced several years ago and I can tell you the one I took out was exactly the same as the Rock Auto one, same model number, configuration, etc.
Those ft/lbs. are the torque the clutch can handle, not how hard the pedal will be to push.
When I did the clutch in my Z4MC I got 'OEM' parts from Luk and (I think) Sachs from one of the usual suspects. Later I found the same parts on Rock Auto for much less. I second that recommendation.
I went through this with my engine build last year. RockAuto is cheapest for the SACHS clutch. In December Amazon was the cheapest for the Luk flywheel at $396.64. Unfortunately, it is now $585.35 at Amazon. RockAuto has it for $480.79.
