to upgrade the clutch if you're running 63.5mm turbos? I don't intend to take the car onto the track (track days / autocross) nor do I beat / race the car when driving it leisurely. Sure, there will be occasional times when I'm on the highway and want to open it up but that is far and few between.

If it does not right away the stock clutch will start to slip and not hold. You could wait and see. Also depends on the aggressiveness of the tune.

Aside from the 63.5mm turbos, I'd also upgrade the ICs and get a cobb v3. I guess with all of those, a new clutch would be a wise decision.

Whats a good clutch to get that would be able to hold that power?

The Sachs Race Engineering kit is pretty awesome and runs like stock. Feel free to give me a call tomorrow and we can chat about it all. I can work you a package too if you like.

I have a basic tune, exhaust, and intake and i can get the clutch to slip if i don't ease on to the throttle in certain conditions. You will definitely need a clutch with upgraded turbos.
