Default Which Clutch

Which clutch should I go for on my Bugeye STi currently 380 bnp but future could see 500 ish after this turbo goes bang. I intend to lighten the fly wheel too, what is too light? The car gets driven fairly hard and will be doing some drag launching down santa pod in the new year

If you're intending to go for 500 'ish, then you'll need a twin plate clutch. Exedy, OS Giken, HKS, to name a few.

Be careful with a lightened flywheel and the 6MT gearbox, they can cause heavy gear lash noise when decelerating - typically around 3000-2000 rpm. I had this problem with my Exedy Hyper Single kit, several other reports at NASIOC.
