Matty was right about the clutch....Shop said not only is it just basically OEM replacement, it's the WRONG clutch !!! AND they gave me 2 Throwout bearings, no Pilot bearing....NEVER deal with EZ Clutch on Ebay !!!
The shop found me one for $225 locally, since the car was up on the rack I can't wait and order another....I have to find out who the manufacturer is but they GUARANTEED me it would have WAY more holding power than the stocker

So you think it should hold up just fine then ?? I'd hate to spend $615 to put in a new clutch and have it burn up in a week
I dont plan on getting too crazy with it, Just going to rely on the stock wastegate for now

clutches are sensative to torque....if your turbo is going to make a fair bit of torque you should look for a complete clutch kit with a torque rating over 200-250tq I'd think. The boost bug will bite you and you'll be turning it up...the motor is strong enough...
I'm doing a big SPEC gb right now if you want a quote??
