Been talking to Vxl guy on Mig that does the flywheels over a billet fly and uprated clutch, might have them both.

I'd just buy a GM clutch kit, they are fine for the power your running. Few mates have them in 300hp motors that get abused with no issues.

I can get a std LUK kit off the shelf at work.

I fitted a new LUK turbo clutch and it slipped in 5th and 6th, have ended up with a Helix paddle now as its not nice taking the box on and off.

Really? I drove Jamie F's Astra GTE with a paddle and didn't like the on/off ness of it, i want normal clutch feel...

Guy on Mig does the uprated stuff, might be better to go for that then if you think the LUK stuff wont last.

I don't like the paddle but it was the only one guaranteed not to slip so I had no alternative. Tried an uprated Helix cover with new turbo friction plate and it still slipped.

I ran a std LUK GM clutch on mine for a good 18 month without it slipping once, that was with a brandnew billet flywheel as well.
That was with Phase2 @ 1bar, loads of 1/4 mile runs as well, when i was looking into sorting it all loads of folk seemed to be using the std LUK clutch without anyprobs.

Good to know, Ph2 is the most mine will get, never done a 1/4mile run either so maybe a std LUK on would be ok..

I was running a std clutch too Benn on mine for ages until it smashed to bits. Replaced it with another std one and never had to replace it again. If you can get a std kit cheap Benn I'd try that option first.
