Im about to go order all the parts for my SR Swap but before i do i was wondoring if any of the pros can check out my list and give me any thoughts/suggestions I hope to run 12 or 13 PSI on this setup at times. This would be my daily driver for the Summer, i am concerned with my Clutch choice, i was told to go to a Spec Stage 3 clutch but i dont want a VERY heavy pedal to push in and out in traffic everyday, so i think the spec 2 is fine, im not planning on pushing 400 whp so...

yea i kinda wish i did mounts.....i have alot of engine movement....(gonna get one of those strut tower mounted shocks for the motor)the list: Thats all stuff I ran last summer (1st summer with SR)U don't really need the RAS if your planning to stay with the stock turbo and keep the HP down. boost gauge and A/F (not a crappy wideband one either aka stay away from autometer for this gauge......HKS or Greddy gives u an actual 8.0 + - readout) gauges are a definate...might wanna get an EGT and Oil pressure gauges too.......Clutch- I'm running an ACT street/ Strip clutch w/ a heavy duty pressure plate and its SOFT and SMOOTH...almost feels stock....i beat the crap out of it all summer once i broke it in and its still grabbin strong......but I hear around the way that people tear through them FAST......and I'm gonna be pushing OVER 400WHP next year so I'm gettin the Star SPEC 3 clutch......you should be fine with the disk (spec 2) if ur not gonna be running big power....lastly u might want some kind of fuel controller (piggy-back) if ur funds allow for it....u can pick up some lost power with it and I had a summer of running HEAVILY RICH....i mean popping fireballs and 10 ft flames on the highway......(i think its from the walboro pump) definately loosin power there......other than that you look pretty golden.......

Have you done a compression test on your motor? You'll want about 170+ PSI on all cylinders before you go cranking the boost up too high.
How about a metal head gasket? What size you get depends on how much boost you plan to eventually run.
As someone pointed out, get some gauges. Start at stock boost and slowly dial it up. See how well the engine takes to boost.
With regards to clutches, RPS has treated me well. They're a somewhat local operation, and they're well regarded among the high horsepower Supra guys. My clutch weight / throw feels stock. I don't remember the exact numbers, but the clutch is setup to handle ~350 ft/lbs. They do build beefer units if you need them.
