Clutch needs to be replaced w/o a doubt if your going for over 300whp. Which means just about EVERY turbo kit.

I DON'T suggest you up the PSI for a bit. First make sure it's all stable THEN worry about adding more boost. 7psi is fine for now. You just change the Wastgate spring by the way, not the whole wastegate when u want more boost. Boost controller is a better bet anyway.

The type RS b.o.v. is really nice setup. I run it myself. You do need to back it out about as much as possible without the setscrew in the top falling outa place. I removed one of the 2 springs inside to make it even lighter and STILL have the screw nearly all the way out. If you let of the gas and you here that FLUTTER sound it's NOT the B.O.V. its probably the WG fluttering because the b.o.v. isn't doing it's job correctly due to lack of boost on a low setting like 7psi. This means the b.o.v. is too tight still. Once above 10psi or so the issue isn't as big and once above 12-14psi the issue is completely solved as there is enough pressure to open the b.o.v. properly and things like removing 1 spring inside isn't needed.

I think you should leave the kit alone for now and just put 3 months drive time on it first THEN figure out what you want done. I wouldn't slap more then 14psi to this kit until you really have an understanding of FI. TAKE YOUR TIME

ALSO I suggest you post in the FI section as non-FI members tend to have little and or incorrect information about forced induction.

If you are going to add more then 8psi I suggest you do a HG (head gasket) of 2mm or 3mm. Personally I think 2mm is just fine for 90% of FI people. HOWEVER if you want to get into the 450+ range I believe in doing the 3mm. In general I don't like dropping compression more then needed. Some say you can't tell the difference etc. I disagree with that on a couple levels.

In any case, welcome to the world of WAY more power then the S2000 was meant to have. Please respect this power for your own safety.
