i think factory clutch can handle ~225ftlbs of torque safely???
so if it is 225 then I would assume any thing after a chip, like ko4 you would probably want to consider a better clutch.

stock turbo- stock clutch
BT- upgraded clutch
for k04's and elim, you only really need it if your gona be launching the car. repeated launches will shorten the stock clutchs life dramatically.

my stock clutch withstood 1 launch before it failed. i had the stock k03s turbo w/ a dahlback chip and exhaust at the time. the clutch wasn't slipping, but was on it's way out from the previous owner anyhow.
