This isn't Gran Toursimo...there is no "stage 2" turbo kit. You need to set an approximate power goal and determine your clutch choice based on that. Since you're running a stock D series, you're limited to ~220-240whp which means you probably won't exceed 200wtq. The Exedy stage 2 is a decent clutch. I ran that on my stock block GSR for 2 years at 315whp 216wtq and it held just fine. I ran it at the track several times...even a few with slicks. I would recommend that clutch for it's streetability factor...i have no experience with the others...

**Moved to Forced Induction...you'll get better answers here**

if you plan on running it alot and more importantly preloading it, an organic will not hold as long as a ceramic. just food for thought.

I'm not sure which of the above clutches are organic, but that's a good point. The Exedy is a cerametallic clutch which will last quite a bit longer during hard use
