Im going to install mine tomorrow, my car isn't boosted yet. I ordered my t3/t4 today and that was the last part of my turbo kit. I will let you know how it is on boost as I plan to be boosted this weekend!

I got the clutch bled, I can't drive the car yet but I can tell you right now it kind of feels like a floppy ****. It's not as stiff as my Exedy Organic. I know pedal pressure is no way of telling how much power a clutch can hold but to be honest i've never used a clutch that could hold big power that wasn't stiff as hell.
Anyway I plan to be up and running this week, just waiting on injectors, a couple of flanges and my oil line kit.

I've been wanting to know this too.. There seems to be alot of buyers, but no one has been posting their experiences.. I've yet to see a decent writeup with this clutch.
I was given some links buy the current seller of the product, but they didn't help my confidence in the product.. The treads just had alot of jibber jabber and not much else.. And the original HT seller of this product is no longer selling the product.. Not sure if that's a sign..
I may just have to go w/ another clutch that has been proven.. I'm begining to think, "you get what you pay for." with this product..
Hopefully a few people can prove me wrong..

I also just ordered one, I should have it friday. It is going on a freshly built engine (400whp). I will have to break the engine in first (1500miles) then going to put the turbo back on. I'll try to remember to post my opinion.
UPDATE:
My car is done and it drives. It's currently untuned but still fast as hell.
So far the clutch is holding up really well. I didn't break it in yet, I just started rodding the **** out of it like 1 mile in. It seems to be holding the power so far. I haven't done any launching or anything like that yet.
Pedal feel is like stock....it engages high like stock. My grandma could easily drive this clutch.
So far so good.
I will post more once I get some mileage on this ******!

Good Info Moscow.
Heres my dealings with them so far.
The customer service from EMS is phenomenal. I had daily conversations via H-T PMs. I requested it to be two day shipped and when a part came up delayed and he had to ship it out a day later than he thought, he overnighted it for me so I could still have it on the day I wanted, and he paid this out of pocket. The part was delivered early the next day, packaged well and everything included. The Pressure plate is heavy duty, there is no question. I'll keep updated with the use. I have to break my engine in for 1500miles so this clutch will be properly broken in before being beaten and turbo'd. Then well see how it holds 400hp! This company is no joke! They will always get a
from me.

Update part 2:
Well I've got this thing pretty much broken in now. Here are my thoughts:
This clutch is doing a good job of holding my power. I am still at 7psi but Im guessing right now Im between 280-300whp (street tuned).
I did have to adjust the clutch pedal a little bit in order to get the clutch to engage and disengage properly, but this takes about 2 min with a 12mm wrench so it's not that big of a deal.
The clutch pedal is really soft, barely firmer than OEM. I don't like this because i prefer my clutches to feel like they have some meat behind them regardless of the fact that it holds the power.
This clutch also engages really high, the clutch pedal is almost all the way up before this thing engages. This makes it a little bit tricky to drive but nothing to crazy. I have driven a friends civic with an ACT 6 puck before and this is way better than his.
So far so good, I haven't cranked up the boost yet but overall I like it. Keep in mind i still have yet to launch the car on this thing. I go to the track on a weekly basis so when the track opens up later next month i can report on that.
