well after raising the boost to 9 pounds my stock clutch is slipping like crazy and I kinda new this was going to happen. I was wondering what clutch other people have used after boosting and is there any products I should stay away from. and would it be worth putting a lighter fly wheel in while im at it.

i have a 9.5 lb flywheel. ive never driven a boosted car with a heavier flywheel. I have a stage four unsprung spec clutch. it grabs extremely well, but is difficult to drive for a DD. id recommend a stage three sprung.

ACT is a great clutch as well. The lightened flywheels are awesome to have as I have the 9.5lb flywheel as well.

I've had a spec stage 2 in my dd since 2006. Never misses a beat.

For 9psi boost, though, I'd go with a stage 3 as suggested above.

i'm running an exedy stage one with an 11lb flywheel. clutch is slipping now after two years of boost. I'll be upgrading to an act clutch, hd pressure plate and either a sprung 4 puck or a sprung 6 puck.
