I cannot believe it JT!!! You've been extolling the virtues of mk2 Turbos and they've got a weaker clutch!!! I feel led astray!

:(

Good stuff! I believe maybe the best thing is to have a lookout for a stronger clutch plate and fix a new standard cover (by this I presume you mean the "slip-disc"). I´ll start a search for parts here in Sweden, but does someone know of any good company I could order from?

Thanx for all the help,

Lars
