I just picked up my Audi RS3 FL Sedan with OPF from HPerformance. I got the 4-inch exhaust system and a Stage 3 upgrade. I’m just super happy with how it drives and, above all, how brutal it sounds despite the OPF. Everything worked great—I can really recommend it to anyone who loves their five-cylinder engine!!

Product description:
The HPerformance DQ500 Clutch Kit combines our upgraded clutch, rated for up to 1,200 Nm, with a reinforced dual-mass flywheel. It was developed for all Audi 2.5 TFSI models equipped with a DQ500 transmission that must transmit very high torque on a continuous basis.
The clutch package includes a total of 13 special friction discs, consisting of six large and seven small friction discs for Clutch 1 and Clutch 2. The package is complemented by eight large and six small precision steel discs in proven BorgWarner quality.
A key component of the clutch upgrade is the high-quality clutch cover from Dodson Motorsport. Dodson is one of the world’s leading manufacturers of high-performance dual-clutch transmissions and motorsport clutch components. When combined with the hardened spline, the reinforced clutch basket, and the precisely matched plate stack, this creates an extremely durable solution for high-performance street and motorsport vehicles.
To complement the clutch, the kit includes a new dual-mass flywheel reinforced by HPerformance. In particular, the center ring has been redesigned and reinforced, as this is a known weak point of the stock dual-mass flywheel when subjected to high torque and repeated launch control starts.
This combination is particularly recommended if the existing dual-mass flywheel is already making noise or rattling and needs to be replaced anyway. Replacing it directly with the reinforced version prepares the entire powertrain for the increased engine power.
To ensure proper operation, the clutch assembly must be professionally measured, adjusted, and then correctly adapted during installation.
