Later next year am thinking about squeezing some more power out of my WRX 300. Need to uprate the brakes at the start of the year. Just wondering if anyone knows whether the OEM clutch would support power up to about 330 BHP or whether it would be advisable to replace this at the same time?

to be honest - you need to be more aware of the torque than the power, increasing that is more likely to leave the clutch in a smelly mess on the road than power ever will wink

The standard clutch is OK at 330bhp as long as you're not too violent with it. I'd leave it be until it wears out - Scoobs can be hard on clutches at the best of times...
