all will be answered with a search.
no longer a series, but still 1.3 turbo.

The verto is a more modern design and should work better.

Turbodave is developing an uprated/ultimate verto at the moment.

Once I found a cover strong enough....I never had any clutch issues, other than the paddle ate the flywheel and cover during use.
9.85 @ 145mph

Going back to original question,the best clutch for holding power is th pre-verto hands down.

Stevie, I'm hoping to stick with the verto for my mild 998 turbo. Where did you find this strong cover? Could you find it again? Was it one of these with 0.090" fingers and a ring around the studs:  Cover was a fluke. It was a re-con Balco unit for a 1000cc Mini. I had tried 2 genuine Rover turbo covers, as well as the original one that came with the base engine I used. None would take any boost at all. One was even out of balance !!! I tried a couple of other used 1000cc covers I had from other engines, one wasnt bad, the other no better than the turbo covers. Then I hunted through a local motor factors, basically jumping/pushing my weight on the fingers ( via the cup ) of all the covers they had in stock. I picked the one that took the most effort to operate. Some would literally operate under my own weight. The one I ended up with needed me to jump on it to operate it. As its still in the car, its been a while since I seen it. But Im pretty sure it had the rivets with the steel ring around them as you picture. I know many people havent had success with a Verto....but when I read the torque ratings of the pre-verto stuff, no way was I going to try one. I can only guess at how much power I was making, but I dont think circa 180+bhp would be far off the mark. Probably excessive fuelling, T3 and 20psi, and dizzy welded around 26deg I think. 7.5:1 CR, 4 star petrol and a little crude water/meth system, SW5 cam, and Swiftune head. Its enough power/torque to have major traction issues below 70-80mph, and in the wet, every gear. I'll maybe get my engine crane back this week, and start stripping my car, and get some pics, and perhaps try to measure pedal effort if nothing else.

Axel, http://www.turbominis.co.uk/_photos/random...os/425/2761.jpg http://www.turbominis.co.uk/_photos/random...os/425/2762.jpg Finger thickness = 2.38 ave. Matty, couldn't agree more. Cheers Brocky Well, that's the thickest yet at 0.094", but according to some old thread I read some time ago will still only handle around 90 ftlbs. Looks the same as the Sachs one above but with some red paint. Edited by Paul S on 11th Oct, 2006.

Sounds like its all down to the luck of the draw as to the torque capability by the sound of things, may be a factor tolerance ting

i think a lot of it comes down to the installed hieght, the same as the pre verto type , the supports on the flywheel may need to be machined to get the spring flat. i definately found this with the dual spring verto i made.
Medusa + injection = too much torque for the dyno ..https://youtu.be/qg5o0_tJxYM |
