Can someone please educate me on clutches? Need something meatier to deal with the turbo but can't afford the Skuzzle kit just yet...

Assuming that this is not something I can just chuck in my gearbox with the stock flywheel, pressure plate etc?

Also a new genuine release bearing.

I have a spare low-mileage box in the garage, could I get away without a new pressure plate?

Plate with original pressure plate. I did however get an OEM release bearing thingy to install. Held well for over a year with no issues..

To be honest, the OEM clutch is alright at the mo but reckon it will get spongey with prolonged use.
