OK, just ask again when you know what kind of engine you will have and the forum members can then give you some ideas.

Well if you are going to spend money on a clutch for the N/A then it would be a Waste to see that clutch not able to be used on your TII swap since it won't be able to be used without the N/A trans.
If you are thinking "long term" then you would consider the TII components like Flywheel,Clutch,trans etc..First.

Why buy TWO clutches???

OK, so upgrade to a Turbo II transmission and get the heaviest multi-disk clutch pack possible since you have not specified the torque requirement. This will be certain to make the car drive like ****, which seems to be your goal. It's not going to be cheap, either.

Hahaha that was pretty funny ^^^

Don't stress on it dude. If you really insist on having an upgraded clutch, just get a nice stage 1/2 full face clutch. The added clamp force will make you comfortable doing clutch kicks, knowing that it's going to ****** up the drive train and spin the wheels as quickly as possible. But the full face will keep the daily driveability.

I personally have always gone with 6 pucks, I just like the way it feels. Not sure why. by some people's standards, it does feel like ****. But knowing that I can even just SLIGHTLY tap the clutch and spin the wheels makes it very comfortable drifting.

My answer to that is.. we only really spend like 0.01% of the time taking off from a stop. And that's the only time the picked clutch sucks.
