Default 2.0 zetec turbo, help please

Hi, ive just built a 2.0 silvertop zetec turbo for my s2 rs turbo, hoping to be running about 300-350 once everything is all sorted, ive got a mtx box from the mk5 escort rs2000, which has the release bearing and rod change
Im trying to find a clutch which will take my power but also fit into the bellhousing of my gearbox, ive done so many searchs over the last few months and cannot find nothing of use to me, yet its been done plenty of times, so can anyone let me into their secret of what clutch there running, thanks for any help
Bill

just use a sach one from the frs, cover is steel not alloy like the ap ones and therefore a little more clearance.

Mine is a 4 paddle unsprung, track only car, best to ring competition braking components, good guys to deal with, will spec you the right clutch. Not to confused with compbrake mind, there wankers.
Car is around 400bhp/380tq
