Red face Clutch and BOV HELP!!

Hey everyone, first ever post.

My clutch is about to die, so i was wondering what would be the most appropriate replacement. I am only putting down 180kw atw @15psi, so i dont need a crazy m0f0 OS Giken quad plate rated for 650hp. I would like to keep it at under $1000 if possible, as the car is just a daily driver. Also, i have been having boost leaks, where the car is only boosting to 7psi and staying there. I have a feeling it has something to do with the oldish generic bov on it atm, so was wondering if anyone could suggest a good alternative. I was thinking of a HKS SSQV. I really appreciate any help guys, and it is good to be a newbie.

exedy 9 puck i think you can have installed for about the 800-900 dollar mark and that will be good to hold up to about 350-400awhp. Ring xspeed for a quote.

the Wok also do the exedy range from memory... i've got an 8 puck clutch in my car and it is quite good for racing as well as keeping the car streetable, mine's not an exedy but i'd imagine it would be very similar.

with a pucked clutch i've found you can slip it for your launch and second gear so as to not damage your box but then it will still be rock solid for shifting into third fourth fifth with no slipping whatsoever. Mine cost me aroun 1k fitted

Fantastic. yeah i have heard good news about the exedy, so will probably go with that. Otherwise was thinking maybe about the stock STI one.

Any thoughts about which BOV? i hear the GFB hybrid is good for elminating backfiring

aftermarket BOV does little or no performance gains other than noise

stick to your stocko

Called Ross at autoclutch and was quoted $460 for an 8 button with uprated Pressure Plate. Only problem is i am in broome, and freight may be a pain in teh ass, considering i am an impatient prick.

Managed to snag a HKS SSQV wholesale for $360
