I have chip on 24psi and a exhaust and also 208k on the clock..When I boost over 20 psi seems to want to slip..

I dont know if its worn out or not holding..Any suggestions.

You can never give a specific answer to this, because peoples driving habits are different. My moms jetta has gone 178,xxx with 2 clutches, but my dads integra (back in the day) would eat them at about 60k

Thats why I asked..If a stock clutch is good for that power ill replace with oem if not Ill get aftermarket..But the prices are the same so I might as well get a aftermarket.

I got the South Bend stage 2 (which ever the kevlar one is). I'm only on a 2.8 30v, but it's really nice. It grabs a bit harder than stock, but definitely as easy or easier to drive daily as the OEM.
