Default Clutch on its way out

I picked up my new bug-eye wrx on thursday, times were good until yesterday I noticed that the clutch was beginning to slip

Its only noticeable when you accelerate hard which is why i didn't pick it up on the test drive.

Obviously i'm gona get it replaced asap, do you think its a good time to get an up-rated clutch? If so any recommendations?

Cheers

Standard Excedy clutch will be fine mate,unless your going for monster power in the future of coarse.

No mods so far, only had it since thursday and its bog standard. Will be looking to increase the power over the next couple of months though, prob nothing too crazy, i've read that sticking below 300bhp is a safe bet on standard internals?

Although, once i get the bug who knows what will happen

Until you change the turbo, one of these would be most suitable:
