Default question about trd exhuast clutch and turbo

I am planning on buying a scion around may shortly after i am planning on buying the stage one zpi turbo kit. If i were to get the trd exhaust and the trd clutch would those just have to be replaced after i got the turbo or would they work pushing 300whp which i plan on getting when i am done. I don't want to spend the money on trd options if i just have to replace them again. So should i just save my money buy a custom exhaust and clutchmasters stage 3 thanks for the help

dont buy TuRD products if you want 300whp. custom exhaust and CM stage 3 or 4 will do it.

Any 2.5 exhaust would help alot. I'm sure if you buy ZPI's kit they will hook you up with a exhaust system. From what Ive heard the TRD clutch has simalar holding power to a Clutch masters stage 1. I wouldnt suggest anything lower then a stage 3 clutch. Be sure and replace the S-pipe too. That will give you a nice gain.

TRD Clutch will be pointless with a turbo..u will need a better clutch than that..im not sure what kind but i know u will need a better one then the TRD...and the TRD exhaust is full of rasp and two you might want to get something thats aftermarket so u can achieve full potential

I know lot of people is using this set with the TRD exhaust, ZPI S-Pipe to Tsudo Midpipe to TRD Exhaust. I heard sounds nice with turbo.

We run the ZPI Red Disc Clutch, it is equalivalent to a Stage 3 clutch in other brands, so go with a Stage 3 clutch and not the TRD.

Someone told me the TRD clutch is a stage 2 clutch. well anyway. I don't even know the spec for the TRD clutch because I never look at it.
