Hey fells, I was looking at eventually upgrading my Clutch & Flywheel with ACT, I have read somewhere on here that the Clutch & Flywheel install is "a lot" more difficult to install after the Turbo set-up.

1) How much for your typical garage to install Clutch & Flywheel
2) With the Greddy Set-up and around 300ish WHP do I need anything more then the basic ACT CLutch & Flywheel upgrade for an 04?

I have 68,000K on my car, all Highway (long long commute) and no slipping as of now

I believe most shops will fall inthe $600-800 range for installation. The intercooler piping will have to be disconnected so the engine cradle can drop and the downpipe might interfere with the bolts on the side of the tranny.

I have no idea what the greddy guys are doing but why pay more and yes you will pay more for someone to uninstall the turbo and change the clutch and flywheel.
Just do it now before the turbo or during the turbo install.
And yes the Act street clutch kit would be enough. That clutch kit if I'm not mistaken is good for 360 foot pounds of torque might be a little more.
If your mechanically inclined i would say save yourself the hassle and money and do it yourself its not that hard.

yeah, I may do that clutch later on, if all I have to do is disconnect the Intercooler, but I dunno, I just want to get it on, get it tuned, and have some fun!

Your stock clutch will hold for a while so its fine to drive for now, but down the road it will wear out so at some point you will have to consider a clutch job.

yeah thats what I was hoping for, as long as it gets me through the summer , then Ill do the clutch, gears, flywheel and possibly a rear-end, although I hear they are pricey
