Hey man, noticed you were getting the ACT clutch soon. I would go with the 4 or 6 puck disc. Don't get the street performance disc, it looks wimpy and that turbo will do a number on it. I am having to send back my pressure plate (also read the post on that) so I am gonna get the 6 puck.

Thanks,
How much horsepower can the 6 puck clutch hold vs the 4 puck clutch?

They both hold 343 lb-ft. of torque with a 34% increase in pressure with the heavy duty pressure plate.
The street disc holds 268 lb-ft. of torque with the same pressure and is a little more expensive than the puck.
The puck will be a little harsh. If you will be driving the car every day and you have never driven a car with a puck, I wouldn't get it. My MP3 is a daily driver, but I can deal with it
I just don't think the street disc will hold up with a turbo, especially if you plan on turning up the boost later.

Thanks for the info NC_MP3 but I am a little scared of using a puck style clutch. Reason being because I had a kevlar 6 puck clutch on my turbo miata (That thing chattered like hell) but that clutch helped break my tranny 2 times because it was so harsh on the transmission. It shifted real cool though..chirped in 4th gear at 16psi 
Thanks
