Forget the blue print one,they are over priced for what they are and not the best quality. As far as the rest go depends on what power you are running,what you use the car for & your budget. The flywheel wants at least a skim but I'd look at a lightened one.
By the time youv bought an Exedy & flywheel youv spent about £600, so if you plan on running big power or going on the drag strip you may be best off paying the extra for a twin plate kit which includes flywheel, it'll last much longer.
I'd drive a car with an exeddy before buying one as they tend to judder & are not evryones cup of tea.

With that turbo you aint running more than 350 (unless its bigger than 16g) and for that exedy pink box will do the job just fine

Check out AP clutches many prefer these to Exedy. A skimmed flywheel will be fine.

A 230mm blue box Exedy clutch is only good for 300bhp. TD05 is a very capable turbo. I would recommend buying the Exedy Racing Organic (Anti-Judder Pink Box) as the other gents have suggested.

Give us a call if you are still unsure:

If you go for an Exedy, ensure it is a anti-judder clutch, these are abit of a nightmare when it comes to everyday/road use.

CG Performance do a very good clutch for around £250, this is good value for money, if your after a budget clutch, I'd recommend looking for a second hand clutch from a reputable Impreza breaker or a fellow SN member, you'd save a lot of money on the part price this way, just ensure it's in good working order!
