Default Turbo and clutch question

So I've looked around and read up on this. I've read that for lower boost(daily driver, street car), I need a stage 3 clutch. For higher boost(drag car), I need a stage 4. Right now I have an Exedy Stage 1. I just had it changed since my old clutch went out on me. If I'm planning on low boost in the future, can my clutch handle it?

This is a torque and power issue. Not a "Stage" issue, unless you're referring to the Exedy stages. More information about your car is needed to help. Exedy does not have a stage 4. Please be specific.

your good man, if your not drag racing you can even use a stock clutch for less than 10psi, not recommended, but it would work. since you have something stronger than stock you should be fine.

you also have to look at how you are going to be driving the car, if you plan on dragging alot, preloading alot, you need a ceremetalic disc to handle the heat. an organic clutch will not hold for long when abusing it at the track.

Yeah, my question was just if my Exedy Stage 1 can handle boost. I mean, I'm not going to track it or drag race the thing. Just a daily driver. I don't go crazy on it. Only get on it sometimes, not all the time.
