I've heard of zero clearance turbos but I'm not sure what advantage they have over normal turbos. Forgive my lack of knowledge, I'm coming from the 930 world. Would someone explain the benefit of zero clearance turbos? Thanks

This translates into better performance. Less lag, more boost, better control.
If you can imagine, the spinning blades inside a turbo have to have some space or clearance between the vane or blade and the body- this space means that some air will 'leak' past and not actually spin the turbo.
With a zero clearance, they epoxy coat the inside, then assemble and spin. the spinning blades remove just enough epoxy to allow the blades to turn- and leave, just about zero clearance between the blade and the wall (now epoxy coated).
Search is a friend...lots of discussion on these.

If you are doing that (something I am contemplating) aren't you pretty much putting more power down than the stock clutch will handle, and are also walking in to a clutch upgrade due to that and at how much $$??

Labor is about $800.00. Parts are about $1,600.00, I think (pressure plate, TO bearing & disc)
