Default What clutch for turboed D16Z6/Y8

Say I wanted to turbocharge a SOHC VTEC, or even just a SOHC Civic motor, and run low boost at first(about 7psi), what clutch would you guys reccommend?

What clutch then for high boost?

Thanks.

i like centerforce dual friction, for basicly being a racing clutch it rides smooth for daily driven

Look into the Action Clutchs.. From the reviews they are nice units.
Talk to Rocket, and also look for his clutch review on here.

NOT act HD. Get the Xtreme pressure plate and some sprung disc, if not an Action clutch.

I know of 2 ppl w/ si's that use the Clutchmaster Stg 3 clutch.
One is boosted w/ greddy kit, the other is a n/a si...
I have drove the n/a si and took me a second or two to adjust to the clutch. okay to me..
I was looking at the stg 3 but gonna try the Action unit.

what's wrong with the HD from ACT? I was looking at running that clutch, it's not like my car's gonna create more than 220 ft./lbs. of torque that the clutch can handle

rocket says these are good and seems to have sold a bunch on here...I can't really find anything on them on the internet, so I'm a little dubious as to their durability since I want something that will give me atleast 30k miles with some fairly hard driving.

Any of you guys with these ceramic or kevlar puck clutches had them last a long time like two years or something???? My ceramic clutch chewed through my flywheel pressure plate and wore itself out in about 10 months!!! Is this just what you get when using puck style clutches on the street? i HAVE A BOOSTED ZC SOHC d16A6 only has 196whp @10psi so it nothing crazy. Any ideas on a clutch for me?
