1. Clutch brand: Competition Clutch
2. Pressure Plate brand & Type: Competition Clutch (stage 4)
3. Flywheel brand: Competition Clutch - ultra lightweight...I think it is 9.25 lbs.
4. 2.0 or 2.2 engine 2.0 with AP2 crank - Full Race Turbo
5. Power level (HP and TQ): 452/341
6. Use (street or track): street
7. Est mileage on setup: < 1500
8. PROS/CONS about set-up: PROS - does what it is supposed to do, fun to drive, goes when I tell it to go. CONS - Took a while to break in the clutch, in the breakin period I started wondering if I knew how to drive a manual transmission car. Probably a bit too "switchy" for most drivers...especially if you drive in a lot of stop and start traffic.

can't wait to learn to try to drive manual for the first time again. Seems like it's really a big difference from a stock clutch.

1. Clutch brand: (ACT, Exedy, etc), Type: Clutchmasters FX725, twin disc (unsprung). Hydraulic release bearing
2. Pressure Plate brand & Type: (ACT Heavy Duty, Xtreme, etc) Clutchmasters (complete kit)
3. Flywheel brand + weight: Clutchmasters, part of kit
4. 2.0 or 2.2 engine & (Turbo or S/C):2.0, turbo
5. Power level (HP and TQ): ~500hp and 500Nm at the wheels
6. Use (street or track): Mostly street, some track duty
7. Est mileage on setup: 6000 miles/10000km
8. PROS/CONS about set-up: Pros: holds power well, easy to drive
Cons: price, some noise (but not too bad). Grabs very quickly, takes some tiem getting used to for daily driving.
I also have to say regarding wear/lifetime that some people say are very bad on these twin disc clutches, that after 10 000km my clutch still looked brand new. In these km's I have been daily driving the car (a lot of stop and go), and been to the track.

I have the same setup.. I only have CAI and exhaust, but i put the stage 4 CC on when the motor was out because i knew i want to be boosted within maybe a year.. The clutch is a bitch to drive.. The engagement is all the way at the top, i need to see if i can adjust it... but you can't really feather it from what i've notices.. as you let the clutch out, its like nothing..nothing...nothing.. fully engaged lol

This is the setup I plan on running. I already have the CC 9.5lbs flywheel installed, so this is great insight on what to expect.
