I had a Exedy uprated organic fitted to mine by a respected tuner on here on the basis it would be good up to 400bhp.

Sorry!!! Ever so slightly vague!! Supply and fit was £600 it was fitted in a morning, and it feels not to far away from the oe clutch pedal feel. I get a tiny bit of judder on pull away, but its honestly nothing to worry about, give it a few more revs than you normally would and its not there.
With regard to handling 400bhp, i'll tell you in a few weeks!! I told the tuner i wanted a clutch to handle 400 ish and this was what they put in. Hope this helps more than my 1st post

just speak to david at API, he'll sort you out, They offer a exedy organic that will take 400/400, I've one in my uk turbo that was only running 330/330 and that felt just like OE.

I know someone running one in his 2.5 type R running just under 400/400 and thats coping fine but he is a ***** and won't take it up the drag strip anymore
