Default Recommend a clutch?

My spec is as follows
-34
Piper 285 cams
1.9 tall block engine
Full samco hoses
Big front mount cooler
Air tec rad
Uprated fuel pump
Standard turbo

Looking to change:
Turbo- stage 2 hybrid or anyone recommend different?
Chipped
Set up

What sort of power would I be expecting from this set up
And a good clutch as mine is slipping already (standard)

Good standard unit should cope just fine. Turbo will be the limitting factor and in all honesty doubt you'll be cracking a genuine 200bhp. If it's not currently chipped I would be amased if you were seeing much more than 150bhp

Helix or AP Organic would be my choice, will give you a fair scope for coping with future upgrades

Tbh I haven't a clue if its chipped I used same ecu that come with the shell so could be chipped, it feels quick and is boosting about 12psi its standard clutch that's in and it's slipping, how do you tell if its standard turbo that's on?

It needs setting up desperately but no point until have a new clutch, it fells quicker than 150 bhp, I guessed around 200 so something's amiss somewhere? I had a 2006 Wrx standard and it feels quicker than that?

Cheers

For 12psi iirc it would need to be chipped, I recall boost being cut about 10psi on the standard ecu.

Can't really diagnose too much over the net I'm afraid, best bet would be to get your new clutch done and have it setup. The chap doing the setup should be able to advise what you have and what you should be looking at next for further improvements
