The flywheel had nothing to do with this. Where is the picture of the clutch disc and pressure plate?
Did your power level exceed the 375-400 max flywheel torque rating of most stage 2 kits?
The longevity all depends on the driver and driving style. This thread was started in 2008 so if these were not lasting under somewhat normal conditions it would be known. Every clutch company has been critiqued on the forums.
South Bend/ DXD offer a one year 12K mileage warranty so you are out on time and mileage.
For example, other customers with stock and modified vehicles using various turbo sizes (K03 K04 GT28 GT30 GT35 etc) are using these clutch kits. The 24V VR6 with a 10 bolt crank flange also share the same disc and pressure plates are used on the 1.8T 02M and these make more torque than the 1.8T.
The next step up price and quality wise is the stage 3 with a Sachs race engineered pressure plate. Some users try to stretch the limit of their selected kit ( stage 2 VS. stage 3 the main reason is the cost factor the stage 3 with the sachs race cover is on average $400- $450 more than the stage 2).
I have a 5 cylinder S4 Quattro with 125K on the OE clutch kit and the car has been chipped for ten years. Then about two years ago a larger turbo kit w/ GT371R rated a 430 @ was added to stock clutch and does not slip @23 PSI.

Thank you for your question and I can surely answer that.
Anytime you do a clutch job it is wise to inspect and replace as needed the various seals in the area you are working in. Reason being, is that a worn seal is easy to replace when the trans is out. If you don't replace the seal, you may experience a failure sometime after, in which case you will have the added expense of the labor to remove the trans.
For piece of mind and cheap insurance, people replace these items at this time.
The item on the left is the rear main seal, late model VWs are using a teflon sean which is now integrated into the aluminum housing. Earlier VWs had a similar aluminum housing, but the seal was the replaceable affordable part. VW has since made obsolete the older style and forcing customers to pay for the late model higher priced part.
We can offer our customers the option of one piece teflon, or the 3 piece older style (spring seal).
The 3 piece uses a fiber gasket, to mate to the block, the seal is replaceable.
In your Bentley manual, you'll read about the different seals and why VW chose them.
Keep in mind that a teflon seal needs time to set-up after installation, whereas the older spring seal does not. The choice is your and that is why we offer both.
Now the part on the right is the input shaft seal on the trans.

Just a heads up, took my flywheel to the machinist with my rotating assembly to be balanced. One of the dowel pins fell out somewhere. My machinist made a new one but I am not sure if it was a manufacturing defect or if someone banged it around a bit.
Good product, only took 1.1 grams to balance!

Dowels pins on the 02M billet flywheel are not pressed in, they slide in and can be removed by pulling with your fingers. Some may fit tighter due to the machining oil in the flywheel hole or due to a dowel that came from a different batch. All dowels are machined to the same tolerances, but they all get put into the same bin box.
