you are gonna need both by the time you boost so plan on getting both of them by then. If you dont have a clutch that can handle the power your clutch will slip and you wont go anywhere and if you dont have a tuned ecu you will probably blow your **** up.

why would u tune your current setup if your planning to boost? or am i confused by what your saying. Your gonna need both before you turbo so i dont see why it matters which u get first. Buy the s300 and it sits until your ready to go get tuned... buy a clutch and put it in and drive it, then buy s300 until it gets tuned either way it doesnt matter

I would say get the clutch, install it and make sure it works on your current setup. Its one less thing you'll have to worry about/troubleshoot once the turbo is installed. Make sure you pick up the S300 and get it tuned before you go around boosting and beating on it though.

You could, but to me its not worth it. You would see some gains, but why bother shelling out the cash to get it tuned when you'll have to do it again after the turbo is installed?
