My FD just hit about 54k miles and i'm the first to raise boost or do any performance mods on it. At 12-13psi and my full exhaust and intake, the clutch is starting to slip at wot around 5k rpm and up. Once it grabs, the car is a champ though.

ACT street/strip and 9.5lb lightened flywheel is sitting in my closet waiting to be put in

I guess mods and raising boost is the primary reason the stock clutch starts to go (in my opinion)

Well mine lasted about 30k. Just like what SOCALLUV did...I juiced out every mile of it...it smoked and I had to call AAA to tow my FD home. I raced the hell out of that stock clutch. I was surprised it last that long.
