   neither one of those would be suitable
   
   you need a padlde clutch tbh, ceramettalic friction plate, theyre not cheap either.
   
   im on 10psi on a vtr and with a helix heavy duty cover and a relined cerametallic padlde plate i was still seeing clutch slip, it seems to have sorted itslef out now but imagine when i turn the boost up itll slip
   
   those clutches are pretty useless tbh, as theyre not really of any use to turbo/supercahrger, and they standard clutch will cope with pretty good thrott bosy set ups....

   seen a few hreads where people say standard maybe alright. gunna be running around 8psi, not sure wot the bhp will be at that pressure... as dont really want to be buying a paddle clutch as it only low boost so wont to try and avoid it.
   
   any help?

   doesnt matter if its low boost or not(to an extent), boost creates alot of torque, tbh its one of the last things you want to cheap out on, if you spend £150 on a clutch and it slips your gonna have to remove it, box off jobs are the last thing you wanna do, especially when youve got a turbo kit fitted,
   
   then once youve got it off and wasted your £150 your still gonna have to buy a proper clutch and youll get F.A. for a second hand clutch youve had boost ran through
   
   i doubt you even get away with 5 psi on a standard clutch, and even then it wouldnt last long

   so one of the organic clutches wouldnt even last a year on 8psi? surely if they are 30% more uprated they must be better than a standard clutch?

   is a paddle clutch my only option then? really wanted to avoid it as i will be using the car as a every day car. i would expect that id only be running 150bhp at 6-8psi. and only being a standard gearbox i wouldnt expect that to surrive long either?
   any suggestions?
