when you hit boost the engine makes far more power/torque and this overcomes the worn clutch............................

sounds like you need a new one, would advise you get it checked

Cheap and good? LOL usually don't go together. Are you going to fit it yourself? I like Exedy and ACT clutches myself.

Probably 225mm ( on a non STi classic ).

All being well probably under a day, often half a day ( if no seized nuts, 'box comes off the engine etc. ). It's heavy!

I think that 225 is UK turbo, 230 is JDM and the larger for later cars with 6 speed?
