Eric, thanks for the quick reply.

I am probably going to flip my lid if it turns out the clutch is gone, seeing as it was indeed replaced just a year ago lol... What kind of price would I be looking at for labor? I'll have the parts imported from the states if I have to and eat the cost there, do you have a recommendation as to a shop?

I noticed a bit of slipping one night when I was stuck in traffic in toronto and it was stop and go for about 45 minutes... went to go on the highway and just gave her... rpm's shot up but absolutely no response from the car... 1-2 seconds later it started moving, slowing, but that was the only extreme scenario.

Now, the internals of the car minus the clutch is stock so far as the turbo swap internals are... if I *have* to replace the clutch, what's the best option? Should I just go with OEM seeing as I have no intentions of modifying this car at this time? and also with the reduction of a heavier pressure plate it should reduce probability of problem recurrance, no?
