Default need to upgrade clutch?

i have a 99 si and i hope to boost it in the up coming months. i had approximately 75,000 miles on the motor and transmission. i plan on gettting a t/3t/4 hybrid turbo, possibly a rev hard kit. my question is, should i upgrade the clutch when i put the turbo on? i plan on running from 6-8psi daily driven but i would like to turn the boost level up when i go to the track. any input is helpful

yes you should upgrade the clutch...the action 2md is a nice clutch. If you kept stock i would give it a couple weeks tops before it started slipping..

What kind of clutch would be good to run 8 to 10 psi daily? i will hopefully turn up the boost level a bit when i go to the track. What is a good brand of clutch? What stage clutch should i go with. TTT thanks alot

I actually run a ACT extreme plate with a stock gsr disk. Works great. So far it has held 390whp. We'll see how long she holds..
