Default Advice on clutch

I know there's a ton of "what clutch should i buy" threads but after some searching im not satisfied yet.
So I was looking at the comp stage 2 clutch
Anyone recommend this?(who actually have it in their car)
Ive heard some people say they werent happy with it and it didnt cure clutch buzz which id like to go away because my oem clutch buzz is loud as hell and im about sick of it.
Can anyone recommend a good clutch for turbo?
Clutch needs replacing now, and car will be turbo by summer so id like to get a stage 2 in there at least. Car will be 300-400hp nothing crazy. Daily driven
Planing on 1 or 2 track days but gearing for more of a DD than a drag car

Clutch buzz should be pretty minimal with any current OEM friction disk. Are you still running an early ap1 clutch? OEM friction disc on an upgraded PP is a great way to go for like stock feel but increased holding capacity. How much trq are you putting down, or going to be putting down?

I just broke my comp stage 4 today at the track first time I ever launched the car and broke the clutch, so needless to say I would stay away from competition. I'm only on 12lbs of boost

I haven't had any problems with mine, neither have any of our other cars. How were you launching? How many miles were on the clutch? Did you purchase it new or used? Whats your power and tq.?

You're going to have to provide a hell of a lot more information before you come around here bad mouthing reputable companies with absolutely no information to back it up. You don't even know if it was Comps/the clutches fault yet you're already quick to jump in and defame them.

I have a sprung 6 puck stage 4 comp clutch putting down 472 on pump and 590 on race gas and I am happy with it. It's not the easiest dd clutch but its fine as long as you are not in heavy stop and go traffic.

Yeah mines an 00' with stock clutch, car used to have greddy turbo set up so clutch has been through a lot. Buzz is so loud it sound like the body rubbing on the tires when i slow down

I tend to drive to NJ and NY for shows and whatnot so traffic is unavoidable

I know for a fact its the clutch that failed, I can still drive the car around but I have to start it in 1st gear because once its started the only way to get it in gear is to push it up to about 4mph so the trans will go into first gear, then the trans shifts perfect as long as the rpm's are rev matched. Clutch had 1000ish street miles no track time and no drag slicks, car only has 100 turbo'd miles as well. I'm calling competition today about it.
The reason I am so quik to say the clutch failed is because it did fail, and there are other people that have had problems with competition besides me

Says the person who hasn't actually had the trans/clutch pulled off. Let's wait until we have facts, then start pointing blame.

This.

Sounds like a bad clutch master/slave to me. Those must be comp products too
