I like a stage 1 style of clutch a little higher grip then stock a slight increase in pressure plate spring rate giving a better pedal feel. Go with what ever brand you like just get the next step up from stock.

Check out the act website. There is a chart that you can make a combination of pressure plate and disc so you can get the results you're looking for.

If it's just a daily, why not just go to your local parts store and get a clutch kit for around $125 or so? My buddy has been running a local parts clutch on 12 psi of boost from a greddy kit for 2 years and no problem.

if you plan to go boost, keep your stock flywheel, helps your rpms stay higher so you can stay in boost longer.
