Ok i need a new clutch or disc n e way the only gear that slips is first when i step on the gas hard but second gear will grap hard so i just want to get a ACT street/strip disc that will hold a bit more than stock now is this a smart idea or will it not work or what I honestly dont have the money to spend 500$ for a entire kit when my car isnt that old and i think just changin the disc is only necessary so n e thoughts or commets would be great...

Stick another stock clutch in it . . . Adding an ACT street/strip clutch disc without the pressure plate would be pointless & $$$$ not well spent.
Check out Centerforce clutches @
Summit Racing (www.summitsportcompact.com)
If you want the upgrade you must replace the throwout bearing, pressure plate, & clutch disc - flywheel machining will also be needed.
When you do get a new clutch, DO NOT beat on your car for the first 500-750 miles. Clutches need to be broken in, no matter what anyone says.
750 miles of normal driving:bloated: thats hard for me

You think that a stock clutch or centerforce or excedy oem based clutch will hold up with the power being made by the turbo????

Stock clutches are good for 250HP

Are you sure about that? I mean it sounds good and all cuz those kits are under 200$ but do you know any sites or anything that i can read up on this?? because I really need my first gear to grab cuz I'm losing races because of it.

I have read & heard stock flywheels & clutches can support up to 250HP
Centerforce (http://www.centerforce.com/) would be the 1st place I'd look for spec's.
