need clutch advice
I've been reading on here and my eyes are getting tired..heheh but I still haven't come up with an answer. after 6k miles my clutch is out..and no, I don't drive the crap out of my evo. qouted by dealer to replace is about 1800. I just want to go outside dealer and and aftermarket clutch. can some of the experts chime on this please, here are what I plan to do on the car.
current upgrades:
cobb ap
BC BR racing coilover
18" rota wheels on stock tires
My futures mods are:
Full TBE
LICP/UICP and larger intercooler
intake
dyno tune
I plan to track the car every once in a while perhaps a few launches from drag racing but mainly used for daily driving.
can someone suggest a clutch that's compatible to my conditions and futures upgrades. I have no clue on clutches nor engine internals I just don't want my clutch to give out again only after 6k by daily driving and occasional fun here and there.

You could probably get away with a full face street disc clutch.
Get the ACT street disc or the Exedy one.
You may have to replace your clutch master cylinder, it is hit or miss with a new clutch.
If you can afford it, get the exedy twin for nice daily driving.
I would personally get the ACT street disc with HD pressure plate, but that is my opinion.

No problem.
Listening to people on forums is great for initial research, but honestly I would try and find a shop you trust, build a relationship and ask them their opinion on what works well.
But if you stick with the stock turbo an exedy single disc or ACT street disc will suffice.

I spoke with someone local and they qouted me 750-800 for install, I also mentioned the clutch you adviced me and he said that was a good combo. is that a normal range for clutch isntall? seems kinda steep, i've seen 50-600 around the board.

500-600 is kinda cheap actually.
I am getting mine done for 950 with the SSP MC, so yours is a little high, but not outrageous.
If it is a lower volume Evo X shop that is why, they will probably be slower at it (usually not a bad thing, **** gets done right then) since they don't do as many.
If you trust them i think the price is ok. I would pay a little more to have it done right always.

The ACT will be able to take a decent amount of abuse but it is not bullet proof and neither is any other clutch.
I know tractionlimit, who is running a similar setup to me with 480whp on an fpred and e85 is running that combo, so the stock turbo should be fine. He also tracks his too, drag that is, so even more abuse.
