Default turbo advice

I have a couple of questions I need help with. The first one,I tried in the trany/differential forum but didnt have much luck. I have a 2000 si and I'm looking for a new clutch now that Im going turbo. What are some good name brands for clutches? Are XTD's or gripforce any good? Someone please point me in the right direction. Second, I know I dont need a new fuel pump unless I am going over 300+ hp which Im not. Do I need a new fuel pressure regulator, or will the stock one work just fine as long as Im not boosting it to death? Third, is there anyone running a side mount DSM intercooler? If so, how do you like it? Does it get the job done or should I just go ahead and get a front mount? Im running a b16a2 with a TD05H and only around 6-8 psi, shooting for about 210 whp. I need all the help and suggestions I can get. Thanks guys!

FMICs can be found for 200$ or so, side mounts are not needed. I would get an Exedy stage 1 racing clutch....get a walbro 255lph fuel pump.......theyre well worth the 90$. 210 whp on a b16 is EASY with boost.

another popular clutch on turbod16 and other forums seems to be the ACT Xtreme Pressure Plate and the SS Performance Disc

i have a B16A running at 7psi and went with a ACT XTSS clutch and couldn't be happier. You can get away without buying a FPR if ur only looking for 210whp. I would go with a front mount intercooler because they look bad *** sittin' in your front bumper. make sure you do ur research and buy quality turbo parts and get a good tune as well.

+1 for pete, exedy stage 1 , fmic, and 255 walbro. All are pretty cheap and should do the job nicely.

Thanx for the responses. Im pretty set on running a front mount. I have read and researched constantly for about 6 months now and I have read tons of times that a high flow fuel pump is a waste of money and that your stock one is perfectly good to about 300hp. I dont know if its true, Im just saying I read it. I am planning on chipping a p28 and getting as good of a tune as possible. This seems like a decent clutch from a reputable seller. Any good?
