Ugrade to single stage would be better. Would that use more fuel in the top end? Like going 75 in 6th gear going 70 75

How many miles on your oe clutch? If it is not slipping and you plan on staying stock I would see no reason not to put the same one back in. If you are thinking about adding power then an upgrade would be in order. My oe clutch in the 02 lasted 250k. I dont tow often but heavy when I do and I never slipped the stocker even with a 75hp tuner.

I was a little surprised that the stocker held up to the Banks tuner my self.

 

That being said a clutch upgrade cannot hurt and is better than finding out the replacement is not as good as the oe.

I assume by "stock 2 stage" and "single stage" you're referring to the Stock Dual Mass flywheel vs aftermarket Single Mass (solid) Flywheels.

 

The advantage to the Dual Mass flywheel is it's sound deadening properties , because without one the G56 can be a little loud at times.

The disadvantage is it's prone to failure and doesn't take increased HP very well.

 

I would recommend doing some research on the subject to help you decide what's best for you.

 

Here's a good read.

And some ear candy.

What about the brand valeo? 

If I am not mistaken Valeo was the stock clutch manufacture for my 02. Or maybe LUK. Cant remember now.

That is pretty crappy mileage on a clutch unless somebody dogged the crap of it or had a tuner on it. I was shocked my oe lasted as long as it did. 60% of its life had 75hp Banks tuner on it. But I did not tow alot with it either.
