Needing a new clutch

Im going to be installing a new turbo system into my car a werks 5557. I know im gonna need a new clutch if i want to make any good power. Now my question is what would be a good clutch to hold up to 500-600ft trq and around 500-550 hp

Really??? I got the same werks kit. Still installing the parts. Let me know how it goes.
Oh, you are the guy that bought the kit from whyyoumadson right?

i usually recommend the act system, but i know the 6 puck only holds 450, i don't think the 4 puck would be much of an improvement over that

I don't think you will be putting down all that power, unless you also did something else, because whyyoumadson was putting down 442whp with that kit.
If i was you, I would ask whyyoumadson what clutch he had when he had that kit on

He told me more than once that he was doing 442whp. He also posted the dyno sheet in some threads, you can look for them. Anyway, if that clutch was working great for him, I would get that, so at least you know for sure it will handle the power and you won't have any problems.
