Default Clutch strength

Hey, I did some searching but I couldn't really find what I was looking for. I'm thinking about throwing on a turboback exhaust along with a chip, so I would be stage 2+, but the clutch worries me. Would the stock clutch be able to handle the added power? I would not be tracking the car, only normal street with some spirited days. I wont be doing any additional engine mods, so will the clutch still hold stage 2+?

with a chip, mbc at 18psi on stock turbos and a catback, my clutch was slipping. it was strange tho because it launched fine (i launch pretty hard which is prob how it started to die) yet it would slip once i got into 4th gear and had the ***** to the wall

If the clutch is not worn out, you should be Ok, but if you are going to launch the car a lot, it will not hold up.

depending on its current state... normally the clutch will like 2k said, OK... it will hold for awhile.. but depending on how you drive, you will eventually want something more.. but its not immediate.. go rs4 when you do
