Clutch...good shop suggestions for Nor California

Going to need a clutch, anyone have a reference for Indy shop in Northern California?
Should I use GT-2 slave cylinder and stock flywheel. My car is tuned, 450 to rear wheels. I have 30k miles on it, Clutch not gone but will and planning ahead.




thank you

Depends on where you live. I'm in SF and go to Junipero Serra Porsche Repair in Daly City. The owner Jimmy knows his **** and takes good care of my car.

Pacific Power Motorsports is also good. They're in Walnut Creek. They did my exhaust install and boost leak test when I first bought my car 2 years ago.

I would be comfortable with either of them doing a clutch R&R.

Are you making 450 to the wheels with stock turbos? What are your mods?

You might want to consider an upgrade to a Sachs clutch at your power level.

I've been using Pacific Power for everything, but may use Junipero for my clutch i've had sitting in the garage. Sambo recommended him highly. I've had no issues with Pacific Power, but plan on doing turbo's, etc all at the same time and i know junipero is familiar with exactly what I need.
