I had this problem when we installed a tuned 997 3.8 into my 996 and married to stock clutch and transmission.

Also was told to maybe use gt3 clutch, sacha strongest pressure plate.
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.

I have a AWE700R 996 turbo. She puts down around 580whp and 570ish wtq. I am in need of a clutch replacement. I want a clutch setup that can handle 800+whp/wtq. The car came with the awe kit and it seems from the build sheet that an Sachs stage 2 was installed. Not a 2.5 or 3. Im guessing this is why this clutch is on its way out in 12k miles only because thepressure plate on the 2 couldn't handle the torque. I've only had the car four about 1500 miles (4 months) and am a pretty good driver with a manual. I rev match my downshifts and on all the cars I've owned this is the first time I've had to do a clutch. I will be doing gt2 slave conversion and welding coolant fittings at the same time. I may not need a new flywheel but please make your best recommendation both with dual mass flywheel iron and another with lightweight flywheel option (which I would like).
Thanks in advance
Ps I did the search but many were outdated. Just want to know the recommendations from experts on here as well as Kevin and Sharkwerks e.t.c.
I had this problem when we installed a tuned 997 3.8 into my 996 and married to stock clutch and transmission. Based on Dyno results we had gone from about 300hp to just under 400hp. So we had to upgrade the clutch and flywheel (I also upgraded to a 997 transmission while we were in there). So we put in an AASCO light weight flywheel and Sachs motorsport clutch.b the results were spectacular. Revmatching was a dream and no slippage. Below is a picture of the parts.
I've heard bad reviews from guys using and that have installed spec clutches
I'll look into this
Yea im being told that maybe a sachs stage 3 would be best cause it has the heaviest pressure plate for the job and is a Porsche motorsports part. Also was told to maybe use gt3 clutch, sacha strongest pressure plate. And a motorsports lightweight flywheel. So many options
