if the turbo is the same spec as your previous one, then there is no need for a new set up if the spec has not changed

standard clutches are quite cheap; i think i have a new one in my shed somewhere, also make sure you change the clutch cable as well

clutch cables will be no more than £15 and piss easy to do

to be honest the stabdard clutch will cope with 330bhp if its in good nic; i know of a few stage 3 saff's running standard clutches

you're better of sticking with a standard one or go the whole hog and get an AP or Alcon 6 paddle clutch, that way if you dont want big power late on you wont have to do the clutch

whatever you do; do not buy a clutch off a guy on ebay called techni clutch

is it an rs turbo?

you will have to set the actuator up of course! the company supplying the turbo are not going to know what PSI you want to run.

what boost does your spec allow? - you need to set the actuator to your spec

Remember to ONLY turn the end that is on the waistgate and NOT the rod going in to the actuator.

Are you running any form of boost control?... If not just turn the adjusting part of the actuator clockwise till you get your 14psi but only do what i said above

as miller says

each turn equates to approx 1 psi; but dont go mad; do maybe 5 turns, then road test. Keep doing this until you get 14psi

set it up using your boost gauge; 1 bar is approx 15 psi

basically the shorter the rod; the more boost
