Just a word of warning, but ever since I removed my boost pill, I'm pretty sure it contributed to my clutch failing prematurely. But that makes sense since that pill was put in there to prevent this very problem. Kind of like a crutch to make up for a weak part of the drivetrain. I got 13k on my car with it out, friend has over 30k with it in so it's safe to say your clutch will last at least twice as long under normal operating conditions if you leave the pill in.

Can't say that i have any complaints for going with an aftermarket clutch other than the lighter wallet

wrong pill
this thread is about the boost line restrictor pill, not the clutch.
the boost line pill doesnt affect your clutch LOL aside from adding more torque which exacerbates the problem if your a bad driver.

lots of people go 15K on the stock clutch, and lots of people go more than 30K if they dont launch it.

Hmm, now I re-visit these pics, it seems my solenoid pill was on the other tube that in the picture. In the pictures, its the tube nearest the front of the engine bay with the pill in. In my car, it was the tube nearest the driver and the tube nearest the front of the car had nothing in it.

Car boosts fine and works as expected under stock flash with pill, Jestr flash without pill or personal flash with custom pill. Any thoughts? Its an 03 viii

Regarding the clutch restrictor pill, according to ACTMAN its the other way around. Plus its kinda hard to justify what you are saying since there are times when clutches go out at 5000 miles, 12000miles, 30000miles, etc. Clutches going out are luck of the draw or based on bad driving habits IMO. But back on topic, did you see the victoria secret catalog lol jk.
