Default turboing my s2k

Hi guys i am buying a LoveFab Turbo Kit with a Garrett GT30/71R turbo, it will put about 300whp, i am wondering would a stock clutch handel that power and would i need to build my motor for that power?
let me know guys what i would need to do on my car for this kit.
thanx
Abe

Stock Pressure plate dosent have the Clamping power needed to hold anything over 300WHP,

It will hold it for a couple days with easy shifts...... but if you want to have any type of fun with the car, bangin gears.... the stock clutch is useless

Is that with turbo apps? Because I am not having any issues whatsoever with 305 at the wheels with my SC

Pressure plate, clutch disc., resurface flywheel or new, throwout bearing.


when doing a clutch replacement, these parts get replaced.

when you do your clutch after the turbo istall, remember that you might haveto remove some of the turbo componets to install the clutch... most people opp for doing the clutch before hand.

I have been turboed for about 5000 miles at 323whp and that is all the clutch can handle. As long as you stay around the 300 whp mark you will be fine.
