it will hold 200 ft/lbs.

well atleast mine did. at 200 ft/lbs, it will slip. I could never get mine to hold any more that that.

/\/\ agreed, my stock clutch held fine.....until i ran 9lbs, then it slipped up top.

My stocker only had 40k miles on it, and had plenty of wear left on it when i swapped it out with an ACT HD00

You clutch wont last long and get the Dezod or Tsi kit i have heard great reviews about those kits. If you can find a Sf kit used would also be good.

Dont let the install get ya down. Have a weekend (fri-sun) aside for it, and have some friends that really know how to work through stuff. We got it all on and running (idled sooooooo nicely the first try) in luike 30 or 40 hours. A few fitment issues, but not much. Had to buy a flexitube (for the one next to the drivers side front wheel), shave the top rigth of the manifold, cut part of the rubber piece that goes to the IM so the hood closes. Hammer back a piece of the frame I believe, so the passenger piping goes around it, and DONT weld the brackets on the IC. its aluminum and can melt it quick. Have brackets made to hold it up, or find somebody who can weld aluminum. Or be like me (FOR NOW) and use coat hangers, haha. I need to get some brackets made asap. It really isnt as bad as most people make it out to be. It shouldnt take you 2 months. All the piping fits pretty nicely, the A/C does NOT have to be removed, thats right, you DO keep it. Oh and one of the twist ties they give you has to be used to hold a pipe out of the way of a pulley, and you cant turn right as hard as you used to, or you'll hit the pipe into the pulley. Im gonna get a new flexitube to get rid of that, so I can turn fine and not hit the pulley.

Good luck, when you ordering?

as for the greddy kit...you can prolly find a turbo kit by some cheap company with a greddy turbo. maybe 2 people had custom installs and dont know how to word things. i dont know.

:edit:
maybe an ep3 in stead!

Edit2:
