It all depends on what sort of power you want, there are loads of different combinations for the YB engine. There are lots of reputable engine tuners who can give you sound advice ,Stu at MSD for one.

msged stu at MSD will take it up new year when ive fitted a new clutch and im back from China. He did say the compression at 125 was an issue so will have to get that looked in to by someone ;(.
waiting on hoses to fix boost leak from Roose made to fit the t34. Mike Rainbird been very helpful.
Will be looking to purchase alcon paddle clutch and helix cover when im back from holiday after much deliberation .
Not going for hydraulic clutch then? If you are going to be using the car a lot it is well worth considering.I have been very happy with my conversion, it is so much lighter and has much more "feel" to it than the cable operation.
I Have Nankangs on the rear of my 500hp saff and they are the best tyres ive tried since r888's....
Cheers Paul
So called "cheap" performance tyres have got so much better now there really is no need to spend shit loads on big name brands. I have Federal 595RSR 215/40/17s on my Saff and find them very good and a reasonable price. As you have said with your Nankangs they are also very good.A lot of " tyre snobs" will wrongly dismiss ours as rubbish without really knowing anything about them apart from the low price!

I could do with driving one to be honest. i do not mind heavy clutch but obviously if its ridiculous!

Seems the alcon + helix cover is ok though?
Alcon or Helix clutch and cover will be good.
Its just personal preference regarding hydraulic clutch conversion, For me with a 6 paddle clutch it was awful with the original cable operation, very heavy and virtually no control . It was either engaged or dis engaged all within an inch or less of travel.When I was stuck in long traffic hold ups it was a nightmare. I now find even getting reverse is easy with no crunch which on a T5 is unusual. I am a convert and just wish I had done it years ago!

Hi Paul I got mine from Reyland Motorsports. I did need to get a second hand bellhousing which I sent to them and they welded a new bracket on for the external slave cylinder. At the same time I got a lightened flywheel and a Helix 6 paddle clutch kit from them.
The only visible thing you see in the engine bay which looks neat and tidy.
