Default Clutch & Chip

Hi guys I'm at a dilemma......
I've just finished a underside resto on my saph cos 4x4
So here we go, at the end of last year I had MSD fitting new wiring looms, chip, & a complete set up on rolling road etc, the car drove like a completely different car on the way home it made 356bhp on my T3 & greens
However I also bought a t34/63 from mt motorsport ready to fit some time this year..... with a set of Siemens injectors, return trip to msd
The prob I've got now is I new I'd need a new clutch as the old 1 slipped rather badly in 3rd 4th 5th etc but witch what do I go???? Is it best to go AP paddle ready for the new turbo, in case a AP organic wont last or will a organic 1 be fine? any feedback would be appreciated as I'll be ordering on Monday, + where's best & is AP the right way to go?? Thanks in advance.

standard cover with a AP 6 paddle clutch; unless you've got a hydraulic conversion also fit a new cable at the same time. Id also get the flywheel skimmed

thats what i had on my stage 3, not too heavy and perfectly fine in traffic

I've already had fly wheel skimmed spoke to several people & they ALL recommend a paddle as a organic will b on its limit when the new turbo goes in, I've ordered from matt lewis, it was going to be a helix cover & a AP paddle but he been having probs with the friction parts from AP? So he sending me a full helix out with new cable bearing & gearbox oil, if it is heavy I'll have to go hydraulic......
