It's been shown to be quite reliable at reasonable power levels, especially if running E85 for fuel. But the problem in my experience is, 8psi gets boring and you very quickly want more.

I have this clutch - it's easier to manage once broken in, but definitely doesnt feel like stock. Like the poster above said, practice and make your movements very deliberate. You'll get used to it.

That sounds really nice, better than I thought it would. I'm close to ordering it to upgrade my turbo setup. Can you post a video of a drive-by? I I'd really appreciate it.

My 2015 makes all kinds of crazy clunks and noises - it's a car you are very connected to as a driver. Once you realize it's not going to blow up, it's part of the charm this car offers lol
