I considered getting an 11" organic one put in but was looking at the best part of $2k fitted (which I would much rather get put towards an exhaust). I am fortunate enough to work at a ford dealership and noticed that the fg xr6 turbo has the same clutch as the F6 and is (relatively) reasonably priced (dealer price). This leads me to wander if anyone has tested the new clutch to its limit to find out its power holding capabilities?? Would it be possible to fit an FG turbo clutch into a BA2? I would have thought so considering it is the same box and motor combination. On an interesting side note for those who have acess to Microcat there is as yet no pressure plate listed for FG turbos. Has anyone else come across this yet?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont know what the go is there?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
