Obviously you know more than me about this, but if you can afford to I'd probably go with uprated cover too........it'll be pretty annoying if you spend hours removing and reffiting the 'box and then you find that it still can't take the torque with the standard cover. :think:
Well - thing is, uprated cover will piss me off severely... I hate a really heavy clutch, and a heavy clutch combined with a bitey clutch is an irritating combo. I can have one or the other, not both.
We've kinda proved that the uprated friction plates will hold a SERIOUS amount of torque, and mine really only just slips now, so an uprated pressure plate I don't really mind... A HEAVY clutch will piss me off, as I know it'll really stress out the clutch cable and the plastic bits on it... Might just go for the very slightly stronger Mi16/S16 cover, and be done with it.
4Way: I found on a T2/K14 2 gears is faster if you can change quick enough... I got mine down to about 6.3 seconds with a 2 gear pull... Your car should be very similar to mine, it's pretty much the same setup, identical pumps, near enough identical turbos...
The VNT is odd if you mat it at high RPMs, past about 3700rpm if you just suddenly mash it down, it goes a bit nuts and tends to overboost then suddenly underboost, then when you change gear it'll overboost and surge like hell... It's just one of the things that's a pain with it, it's down to the controller not being set up, if I had the proper controller it'd be fine, but I CBA to do it atm... So all one gear pulls are a good thing tbh, probably with the excessive torque from 2k+, it'd be quicker anyway, seen as it's got more guts from 1800rpm than a T2, but then past 3k it just keeps going...
