Default Zetec turbo gearbox and clutch

Is anybody using the IB5 gearbox and rs trubo AP 4 paddle clutch? I used it on my ZVH and they coped fine but im changing to full zetec and i know these make more low down torque. The AP website has confused me because they rate the 4 paddle (CP2015-8) as 169 lbsft but i was getting 253lbsft with my ZVH.

So the answer i really want to know is has anybody used them and what power and torque are you running.

Mtx box and focus rs clutch is the only way to go in my opinion.

A zetec turbo will eat an ib5 box in no time

The clutch will be fine,long as you use the correct pressure plate.
