depends on how much boost you run
check out some of the supporting vendors on this site they have turbo kits.

your stock clutch should hold out very well, i dunno where you got the idea that you need to replace it right away. if you dont know how to drive stick correctly you may need to but i had no trouble and i ran it hard for 3k+ miles.

beat the **** outta my car to 35k w/ 4k boosted and clutch was fine. +1 on the "know how to drive" part of this statement.

you dont have to spend 3-4g on a turbo kit, im buying one off a kid with a srt4 probally for $400 for piping,intercooler,turbo,ect just need a manafold to fit my car and a little modifing on the srt4 stuff. i got told 6-10lbs of boost will hold fine on the stock block. but anything more you should redo fuel,pistons ect...but before anything....im getting exhuast done and cams

I was watching videos on youtube today. The supercharger has a whine, as the turbo has like a whistle. I like the turbo sound better. I read on here somewhere that a guy ripped off a rear-mount turbo from like a '97 Eclipse GSX and made it a sleeper.
