Clutch....

Im getting to the point where i want to figure out my clutch set-up.
I was going to run a 16v pressure plate and 8v disc and a eurospec lightened flywheel. But my shop here can't order in the flywheel till spring. I'm curious what other flywheel will work well with this set-up. Engine is a 1.6TD running higher boost and more fuel. Tranny is the stock 83 020. Engine is still being built. I want something that can handle more then the stock diesel clutch but still feels good.
TIA--

Ok. So i am installing the clutch today. Set-up is as follows. 16v pressure plate. 8v clutch. 8v flywheel. Problem is when i line up the dowels from the flywheel to the pressure plate my flywheel bolts don't all line up. When i line up the flywheel bolts the dowels don't line up.
Anyone have any ideas? Or something similar happen?

Either the FW has been machined to much or the PP is not fully seated to FW
.
You are using a 9bolt FW and PP right?

dont use a diesel pressure plate or flywheel. use a gas pressure plate for the 9 bolts. and use the gas flywheel cause its like installing a lightened flywheel. they are way thinner than diesel wheels.
i would not just leave 3 bolt holes there with nothing threading into them. and im pretty sure that only the 200mm pp's had 6 bolts.

Yeah something's wrong here for, jumped the gun, excited to finsh it. All nine holes line up but then the dowels dont, dowels line up 6 fw bolts fit. So i believe i have to get my part numbers checked out this afternoon. I dont think the flywheel is right, I have sachs pp and sachs clutch disc but then a luk flywheel and the only thing i can think of is wrong parts were ordered(check part #'s) or the different name brands don't work together. Frustated cause the drive train would have been done this weekend if not for this, also i'll be out $100 also.
I should've ordered a clutch kit instead of ordering it seperatley i guess.
