currently on the finishing stretch of a turbo 16v build and looking for a clutch.
something to handle power of around 175ft and 200hp not wanting to use a standard clutch as they are proven to slip/fail early close to these figures.

would like the full helix kit but that's over £500 I don't have been looking at the cg motorsport kits but don't really trust them as there's no one out there that I can find using one. the only other alternative I can find is the helix friction plate with a valio cover and release bearing.
any other suggestions from anyone??

Sachs motorsport do one but it's similar money to the Helix
You get what you pay for; if you want something good, for nothing, you get something good for nothing. :-)

You won't get anything like that with a helix plate and a valeo cover.

Mine slipped at 150ft.lb but that was at 2000rpm.

Definitely recommend saving up and getting a proper clutch. you won't regret it :)
