Clutch Masters 15-24 Audi RS3 2.5L Turbo 5-Cylinder DCT Steel Flywheel

We here at Clutch Masters are stoked on this one. Introducing our DCT flywheel for the Audi RS3 / TTRS and DQ500 transmission. This flywheel is a ground up design built around the OE flywheel specs. Unlike the factory flywheel that fails when you start to modify and increase the output of the 2.5L Turbo 5-cylinder engine, the Clutch Masters flywheel is designed to handle seriously high-powered setups. We first focused on making the hub as strong as possible to be able to handle as much torque as we could possible engineer into it. In our computer simulation stress analysis tests, our hardened 4140 billet steel hub is showing it is capable of handling up to 3500 ft/lbs of torque before failure. That is over 3x more torque capacity then other options available today. This flywheel will also work on other Audi and VW engine applications using the same crank bolt pattern as the RS3 such as the 2.0L turbo engines when swapping over to a DQ500 transmission. We will also have 6 and 10 bolt varieties available soon for other generations of VW engines and using the DQ500 transmission. Also available will be DQ250 and DQ380 transmission flywheel options.

The Clutch Masters DCT Steel Flywheel is engineered specifically for high-performance applications on Audi RS3 and TTRS models, as well as other vehicles using the DQ500 transmission. Designed from the ground up, this flywheel offers a robust upgrade over the factory component, which can fail under increased power outputs. Built around OEM specifications, it features a hardened 4140 billet steel hub that has been stress-tested through advanced computer simulations, demonstrating a torque capacity of up to 3,500 ft-lbs—more than three times the strength of standard options. This enhanced durability provides confidence for enthusiasts pushing their vehicles to higher horsepower and torque levels, making it ideal for modified turbocharged 2.5L 5-cylinder engines and other compatible engine setups with the same crank bolt pattern.

The Clutch Masters DCT flywheel is versatile and adaptable, fitting a variety of Audi and VW models that utilize the same bolt pattern as the RS3. It is compatible with 2012 through 2021 Audi TT RS Quattro, 2013 through 2020 Audi RS3, and 2018 through 2021 Audi TT RS Quattro, ensuring broad application for performance upgrades. The design incorporates a billet steel hub, which significantly improves strength and longevity compared to OEM parts, providing a reliable foundation for high-torque clutch systems. Future variants, including 6 and 10 bolt configurations, as well as options for DQ250 and DQ380 transmissions, will expand compatibility for other VW engine generations and transmission types, offering a comprehensive solution for performance-oriented builds.

Constructed to withstand the demands of high-power modifications, this flywheel ensures improved driveability, better clutch engagement, and increased durability under extreme conditions. It is a direct replacement for the factory flywheel, requiring no modifications for installation. Backed by Clutch Masters’ reputation for quality and performance, this flywheel is an essential upgrade for enthusiasts seeking to maximize their vehicle’s power potential while maintaining reliable operation and enhanced longevity.
