update , stock dual mass/clutch buggard  holds 8psi on stock dual mass,then turning boost up to 15/17psi the dual mass is buggard and friction plate slipping, so replaced the stock dual mass with a solid steel singal mass and bought a 5 paddle type clutch instead reckon i get a 40percent increase in holding power (so the clutch guy states after the run in period )
how true this is time will tell ,
 , decied to go for a 5 paddle clutch instead of the 3 paddle  type as it will be a bit less graby and ok for road use few pics

little update , due to a forium pulling my front brake idea down (when it was a stock calipare carrier , ive decided to update them
so here goes
got a pair of 4pot wilwoods


stock calipar pic

tempory fit of the wilwood

first thought all seems ok as i was told these had 330mm discs
as mine are only 312mm and the discs are too big for these calipars, as these came from a volvo 850r

so the next size i can only get is 286mm discs which ill try tomorrow
as the outers fit nice and makeing the adaptors isnt a big problem

plus these wilwoods just catch my 17inch alloys but will smaller discs they will miss ,
what do u guys reckon i should do ,(alway good to have some advise)
