Since having clutch slip on boost in 4th in Shaunas mini, I've been thinking about what to do with it.
At the moment it has a late 90s 190mm verto in there, with just a standard plate.
Now, I think I might get away with fitting the 190mm ap race/rally plate, or would i be better fitting the whole 180mm metro turbo pressure plate and clutch plate to the 190mm flywheel? I'm not changing it to a pre verto nor does it warrant an rts, it produces around 75ftlbs (but probably all at once rather than gradually after gear change now the bov spring has been changed)
What are peoples thoughts/experiences/opinions?

I'd try the turbo cover with a solid plate

I put 100 ftlb through one of these without issue:

Let me have a think about my plans Carl as I have a recon turbo cover and a competition 190mm clutch plate which I may not use if you are interested.

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

Can you get over to Minits in Coleshill? He's usually well stocked and seems to have more choice than Minispares.
