Default clutch advise

Clutch is starting to slip when I get over 7,000 RPMs. Its either I have too much power for the stock clutch (I wish this was the reason) or its time to replace. Since I have to replace, should I upgrade to a more heavy duty clutch? I plan to turbo in the future so I want something that can handle the increase in power.

Also, since Ill be in there anyways, is there any other mod that I should do to help performance?

As always, all help is greatly appreciated.

How long are we talking before you are going to turbo?

Competition has some solid clutches to look at. Maybe a stage two if you are staying na for a while.

It will be a year or 2 tops before Turbo. What is a good brand to go with? Stage 2 works with turbo and NA well?

I know itis going to be a challenge to replace it but with a side by side lift and a shop full of tools, I think I will give it a shot. Do you have any tips for the job or hints to make it easier?

This car is not a S2000, its a $2000. In the past month I bought Enkie RPF1s, a new soft top with glass window, and now a clutch. I still love it and I hope that no other surprises come after I take care of these.
