Man Gary, I have already put about 10 on my stock clutch... Yeah I know there is a difference in the amount of power and torque, but that clutch should definitelty be able to withstand more use than that.

Jesus Gary... when you installed the clutch did you line up the alignment marks for the twin... if not it will eat through those clutches in no time...

Yeah but somebody correct me if i am wrong, isn't the twin supposed to be a slipper clutch? You should be able to slip it without doing so much damage to it. And I haven't really heard anything about how good all aspects is with their work, I have talked to Kienan a few times and he seems like a legit guy, you might want to ask them why you are going through that clutch so fast...

Ill be out, call me. Oh, btw for everyones info. I did a compression test monday and found this: 190-190-170-190. So ,I cancelled the turbo (just as they were about to mail it) so that I could fix this issue. Once I find that Im ok, or at least know what the probablem is, Ill reorder the turbo, assuming it isnt that major. My car runs fine, I do have some wierd knock at 6500rpm (only 1 count, lol) but besides that, nada wrong. I took the valve cover off yesterday and everything looked ok. Im taking it to all aspects tomorrow for a leak down test.

Slippings not so good with the exedy twin once you fell that bad boy bite let the clutch go... not good to slip it like a stage two or a single disc... once you let it go it will slip a bit with the twin discs anyway that is what engagement is so smooth to begin with. Slipping it will eat the dics up real fast or glaze them where they are pieces of crap afterwards... Gary I will get some more info on the alignment marks and PM you...
