Default Zetec Turbo Clutch Recommendations

Hi All,

just doing the last few finishing touches to get my Zetec Turbo ready for fitting, probably going to be running around 300bhp on an IB5 gearbox,

I have seen the post by Karlos recommending the AP Clutch CP2000-35 is it?

What about any other options or recommendations? Where can I buy a helix version and will I need a different clutch cover too?

Thanks

From what I have heard on here the AP is the best option.

Mine has a alcon 6 paddle disc and standard luk pressure plate and it copes really well at current power level but was slipping at 18psi while out mapping in 5th gear. It was very hot but we backed the boost off as its stupid fast as it is.

The Helix organic is the worst clutch I have ever used, very very heavy and bites like a bitch! lol
You need the complete clutch, friction and cover, you'll also need to do the pedal mod if your not going hydraulic.
