Here's my suggestion: go buy all the things you need, store them, and when you have the turbo have them installed all at one time so you'll save up both on time and money. That would work better than buy them now, put them, and find out the clutch is worn down a year later to have it replaced.

Re: Clutchity clutch clutch

I'd say that if you wear out an ACT clutch in 1yr then you need to learn how to drive a stick before you even think about going turbo with your car.

Re: Re: Clutchity clutch clutch

tru
I had an act on my DX engine and it gripped like a mofo for about a month, then just felt a little clampier than stock after it broke in, but never slid for the 6 months I had it (It slid on the 300 shot of nitrous I accidentally used, and blew the motor, but that's a different story ). Like said above just install them all at once instead of replacing something that already works fine for what you got.

don't replace your clutch right now unless you really need to.
