How long do you think my brand new STOCK clutch will last with a greddy turbo setup, running 8.5 pounds.

not as good as an aftermarket one I can tell you that...but personally i would use the stock till it's gone then put an aftermarket one one and a lightweight flywheel while it's apart

a long time.

i believe the stock clutch is rated to 300hp or something. so its less a question of power (on a stock greddy) than it is a question of how much do you ride the clutch?

no reason for your turbo to cause wear on it unless you slip the hell out of it for no reason.

I don't really ride the clutch, maybe a little while down shifting.

So I guess I'll just wait till its gone, then get an aftermarket one with a lighter flywheel.

Thanks for your input and advice guys.
