It all depends on how old the clutch is, and how hard YOU drive :D

I have no boost - so my answer is just speculative:
I'd say it depends on how you drive and how old your existing clutch is. The older your original clutch, the less time you'd have.

Again - just WAG

... Untill it starts slipping at 2000-6800 RPM range.

well, i would tend to agree with someone above who said it depends on your driving habits.

i say this because i fried my UUC clutch trying to drag race my SMG :eek:

Concur, depends on your driving habits and is directly related to your feet.

Could last a long time...

Otherwise, my answer would be, until it starts to slip enough to say..time for a new one.

I've had the SC on for several months without any noticeable increase in slippage. But with gas at $3.50/gallon, I drive pretty conservatively.
