That must be why I got it for 55 quid new, but even at that price I suppose it would be as cheap as a standard replacement plate and spring etc ?

Brocky don't bother, Benross did indeed try a supposedly uprated Verto, it could not cope with the torque of a tuned turbo motor.

Oh well, to late , will maybe give it a try and then maybe change the verto out , for a non verto with grey diapham etc which I was saving for a higher output spec Edited by Brocky on 3rd Sep, 2006.

I think Benross's clutch is 'ok' upto 12psi in his motor, after that point it just slips. However, i might be wrong! I've seen the future and tbh its Pie

Thanks Andeh, Ben, can you confirm if your uprated verto is ok upto 12 psi, I am only going for a mild tune on this one, upto 8-10 PSI with, Standard CR, intercooler, and 100 RON.

Ok, might look into this solution .... Stevie, how was the paddle plate to drive? I'm trying to avoid a heavy or snatchy clutch ... hence why I want to stay with verto. triple post !!! I just hunted in the motor factors through all of their clutches. I set the cup onto the fingers and stood on it. Whichever one was the hardest, I took it and tried it. The difference in some of them was amazing !!! Some would just fall under my weight, some required me to jump on it.... Im sure I covered well in excess of 60K+ in my Mini when I drove it with that cover and a paddle disc. It was perfectly driveable as far as I was concerned. That was with 13's and a 3.1 diff I had to replace a couple of flywheels and have a new friction surface fitted to the cover a couple of times too. the paddle paltes are quite agressive in terms of wear on these parts. Went through several paddle disks too. The fingers are also noticeably worn where the cup presses against them. Not much I can do about that though. 9.85 @ 145mph
