just curious why did you install turbo again, cant you just have the shop change your old to new clutch or once turbo is in, to install clutch it has to come off. I know engine has to drop a bit.

Hey, you can't lower the engine without taking off the turbo because the manifold and the IC piping hits when you try to lower it.

I bolted my charger on at 13k miles....I now have 19k and some change and my clutch is slippin..was wondering about how long it lasted most of you with a stock clutch that went FI.

Have you done the slave cylinder modification to remove the clutch delay?

My car was boosted for about 10-12K and my clutch is as new as it was when bought it. The first thing I did was remove the delay....and then after that I never slipped.

no, I did not remove the delay valve...

I've heard conflicting stories about the delay valve...some say remove some say keep it on

I installed the Hardtop guy clutch package last weekend and it feels great. It has a slightly heavier pedal feel and begins to grab sooner than stock. The car revs up a tad quicker from stops as well. I need to put a few hundred street miles on it, but so far so good.
