Default Vast clutch in stock car? More clutch questions inside:

I've been having what feels to me like a boost leak. The car shifts easily into gear and doesn't slip, but when already in gear and I hit it, the engine revs, but I get what feels to me like no boost until the tach settles down a few K rpm's.

Dealer says it's the clutch. I'm taking it elsewhere for a second opinion, and if it is the clutch, will have it replaced there.

So if it is the clutch, I'd like to get an upgrade to handle more HP when I do go stage II and beyond.

Should I get the Vast Ceramic Hybrid? It seems pretty popular here.

Thanks.

Default I am stage 2+ and got a southbend stage 5 cryo treated because someday I'm going stage 3

That's what I'd recommend because whether going stage 3 or not you get the beefiest clutch yet it is smooth and should last a long time.

Default I have the Vast Kevlar with RS4 PP. Feels perfect. Not grabby at all.

I am Stage 3- and will be Stage 3 soon.
