No idea about two of them.
Teckniclutch == avaoid
but...
Valeo == standard
Helix organic == modified

standard clutch is probably less than £150 from Steve at alternative autos

I agree with Jek_uk. Techniclutch have a very bad reputation. Don't expect anything uprated about those clutches, treat them as the same as a standard clutch in terms of the torque they can hold. A quick google reveals the levels of problems found with the uprated claims of their clutches.

The standard Valeo clutch can take upto 270-290lb/ft, which is a significant hike over the standard torque. The helix oragnic is tried and tested on this forum and is fitted to some of the highest powered cars Nigels springs to mind with 440bhp / 389lb/ft

What power do you have? Will you be fitting it or paying someone to fit it for you? It's a clostly process the last thing you want is to fit an unknown "uprated" clutch only for it to start slipping.

im running standard bhp minor mods but will eventualy take it up to flee for a map as recomended...
so far i have had a quote for £150 labor which i dont mind as its off the same mechanic its allways been to...
i think the standard clutch might be more than enough but i will see if my budget streches.

If your not planning on bigger turbo's fmic, blah, blah then going any higher than the standard would be a waste of money, unless your thinking hitting santa pod quite a lot!

i dont know if i will change bigger turbo,fmic... but you never know & i do have a heavy foot so for the sake of the extra £50/60 it might be worth buying helix...

Yeah, heavy foot equals a big difference. I know of 300 bhp coops with no probs on standard clutches, and standard coops that go through them quickly. The driving style makes a hugh difference. I also have a techniclutch sat it garage as my mechanic refused to fit it as he would not guarantee his work. Fitted a Luks cltuch and it was fine...

Organic clutch is best compromise, don't go paddle as everyday driving will become a chore in traffic...

Aren't the Helix about £500 plus fitting? I Def would've got one if we were only talking an extra £50 / £60!
