Depends how much you want to spend. You can go for a brand new decent make like a valeo and that will hold good power and torque or can go for a paddle friction plate which is what I did. Should hold more torque but costs a bit more. I used a cg 4 paddle unsprung friction plate with a new valeo pressure plate. You should be alright with a valeo but if you have the extra £120 ish you can get a paddle friction plate

The valeo seem to hold upto about 300 ft/lbs - which even with a td04 and an 11mm pump pushing 180 bhp you might not be reaching.
How long it'll take that kind of abuse for I'm not sure, but likely you'll spit rods before then unless you're upgrading those too :p
If you plan on going for a modern turbo or vnt in the future, paddle clutch will be the way to go.

Yeah but ring them Monday. Always best to speak to them. Say that your off the 306 forum as they know a few guy off here.
