I've posted this here as the forced induction cars are the only ones that will encounter the problem. Where do I get a Verto clutch for an a-series engine producing serious torque? (i.e 2bar boost torque).

I've seen a paddle clutch setup from techniclutch but I'll be polite and say previous poor performance prevents me taking the risk of dealing with them again.

Who among you big boost runners uses what? Am I barking up the wrong tree and should go pre-verto?

You have three choices,

1 pay 300 quid to Vmax scart for a heavy duty clutch cover,

2 get hold of two standard verto's, pull them apart and use both the springs on one assembley, (PM me for details if your interested)

3 change to a preverto clutch with a grey or a double grey cover.

I would suggest one of the first two options as it puts far less stress on the crank thrust bearings.

I am using option two with a minispares 190mm rally plate (C-AHT594) and a lightweight billet MED outer on my 7 port turbo, best clutch setup I've ever had... great feel, great grip, bit heavy but I have a cure for that in the pipline...
