Cosworth TGV Deletes have o rings as does the plastic manifold so we are looking for gaskets to go in between.

Otherwise a few small wins so we are somewhat on target.
If there are any concerns, I guess you should swap the clutch, but did you not do this along with the flywheel not that long ago?.

My STI made circa 240kw & whilst it used to slip a little launching hard off the line at the drags, it would never slip anywhere else. This was just an Extreme organic clutch, so nothing special.

Do you have picture of the underside of the manifold, showing the gasket?
