Default Clutch for turbo

My oem clutch has finally had enough and is slipping, as soon as I get some opinions I am ordering a clutch, my price range is around 350$. do you guys know if centerforce is any good?

I was actually looking into an exedy clutch but I dont know which one to get for my setup. I am going to be running 8-9 psi as soon as I install the clutch. any suggestions?

when choosing a clutch you have to look at the amount of torque you are a looking to make for the maximum amount of psi you plan on running. If you go to the actual manufacture site, they should have a guide to choose which clutch for x amount of torque. But i could be wrong, would be smart of them tho.

I think Stage 1 is rated up to 210hp. Stage 2 290hp. Stage 3 350hp. Not sure but it's a close estimate.

You're probably making 260ish crank am I correct? If you plan on upgrading further get a stage 3. But if you're done then just grab a stage 2. Centerforce is good stuff too.

I can vouch for ACT XTREME pressure plate and Street/Strip orangic clutch using it on my 1993 honda-prelude boosting 14# it would grab really nice its kinda of stiff but once u get used to it I couldnt even tell. It wasn't over abusive or rough so it was still very streetable, as where if you buy a racing clutch( Puck's mainly) you might have a issue as alot of them are on/off deals no slipping unless you want to wear it out real fast. I wish I could remember who I sold my used one too, as im sure he can vouch for how good it is. Unfortunately his email has been deleted, but i can remember one of his comments, "Man this thing really grabs."
