618 sachs pressure plate and stock disc holds 1.5bar on a HX35 and a M20B25 8.8:1 compression engine. Thats something in the order of 450lbs torque.
With great challenges comes great engineering.

they don't really make a turbo kit you have to put it together your self of pay gunni for a drive in drive out not sure how much but it ain't cheap
if your going to do a turbo car you better have some money spare to do a half decent job ya self your looking at 2k plus easy
