Default 993 Turbo LWF & Clutch

Thinking of doing this mod. What do I do about the pressure plate? Just buy a 993 RS 3 piece kit and use the pressure plate in that or buy the parts on their own and get the turbo pressure plate?

TIA

The RS pressure plate will fail if installed in the turbo.

FYI, I have a complete kit that uses the RS flywheel for $1,975.00

890nm Clutch is the best part of £850, and the flywheel is £350. So basically the same price as what Kevin is offering! Where can you get it for cheaper?

Just curious why you are changing to a lightweight flywheel if you are at stock power? I understand it may rev a little quicker, but it's negligible.... The only thing i noticed really was a it became a tiny bit more responsive and a lot more noisy through the transmission. If you're going for a stronger clutch to cope with more power, then you may as well throw the lightweight flywheel in while you're at it

Power is up to late 400's, maybe the uprated clutch is the way to go!!

I installed Kevin's kit a couple of years ago. I highly recommend it. My car has slightly over 500 hp.
