I have a 03 touring and I pretty happy with it, I'm not a speed freek and I don't street race. I just sometimes like to drive fast. Since I bought my car last year, my heart doesn't race like the first time I test drove it. Note: the first car that I drove with over 200 horses. My first mod is going to be a pop charger along with a better clutch and flywheel setup.
I know alot of you guys probally have aftermarket clutches installed already. So I'll appreciate to hear what clutches you have and your opinons about them. Also what would be a good after mod.

In my opinion, just trying to save you $$$ here, stick with stock clutch man. Its VERY stout, lasted me 53K miles before I ripped it out even after 6000rpm launches on slicks and shifting hard-never slipped 1X. People run stock clutches to around 350whp with no issues, save the $$$ and put it toward bolt-ons....no need at all for aftermarlet clutch in your case.

Alberto, why did you rip it out if it never slipped? Did you upgrade @ the same time of your turbo install? Which setup did you go with? I agree the stock clutch has plenty of holding power for most NA setups. I've purposely put mine through a little abuse just to see what it would take, and I agree it's stout. A lighter clutch/fly isn't just about holding power though... let's keep in mind it would A: allow for faster shifts B: increase throttle response C: put more power to the ground D: reduce the overall weight of the vehicle.

Get a Y-Back exhaust. Your heart will start beating hard all over again!

That's all you need. It won't be faster, but it will feel much better.

I'm at 27K miles right now and the car was used, I can't really complain about the clutch right now becasue it's still good. But I think a lighter flywheel and clutch will bring more to the plate, since I use it more than the accelerator.

I've read about the spacer for the hi-rev motors in the 06, are the spacers for the 03 just as good or even better?

Dude if you want the car to feel fast, put on a Top Speed Pro1 exhaust. It sure will sounds fast. Link is in my sig to a video.
