The stock clutch in a 2015

Does anyone know the limits on the stock clutch? I have my turbo, power blocks and exhaust on its way to my house just needing to know what this clutch can hold before I get everything installed and hate life. I used to know the limits when I had my FR-S but I got rid of it 2 years ago and now here I am with the better looking and not so much better brother

No personal experience, but from what I've read, 270-300whp is about where people like to upgrade the clutch.

If you've bought a turbo kit, you should buy an aftermarket clutch. Why put everything on and find out? Just replace it so you don't have to worry about it.

Clutches aren't rated for hp numbers.... what are the torque numbers that the stock clutch slips

210-230 wtq is the most common range, but will all depend on driving habits really.

I meant torque, sorry! I was on my drive home from the missile field when I was asking about this. Long story short.. I'm getting a clutch ASAP. Turbo, power blocks, exhaust and everything the turbo comes with (headers, intake) will put me way over 230 tq

you might want to add an oil cooler to your list for any turbo, and possibly an aftermarket radiator and fans depending on how much hp/boost your running and if your tracking it
