I recently purchased a turbo kit from a member here and was wondering how much wheel hp/tq can a stock clutch handle on the SC300's? I'm still waiting to get a few more parts before proceeding with the installation (boost gauge, wideband, gaskets).
I'm not too familiar w/ turbos but the parts consists of DaveH basic turbo kit w/ the T61 turbo, boostlogic intercooler, other miscellaneous parts, and SAFC. The wastegate will allow only 7.2psi of boost but I plan to run around probably 5-6psi (maybe even less). Of course I plan to run more boost in the future but that probably won't be until a while from now and of course I will need a thicker headgasket, arp studs, r154,... etc.
Thanks in advance!

I would presume that I have a stock clutch in my turbo SC300, I'm only running 6 psi and it slips once I hit full boost...otherwise it drives fine. Others have had a similiar experience I believe. So in short, my experience has been that it can't handle 300hp at the crank.
