Default Which clutch should I use after going turbo?

Hey guys, I am about 2 or 3 weeks away from doing my turbo project and I am planning to beef-up my clutch before boosting. I have a JDM GSR in my 95 civic coupe and don't plan to boost past 12 PSI for a while. I wan't my car to remain a daily driven car and with the traffic here in New York, I need something that can hold yet remain streetable. I would like to hear from members who actually drive or have driven turboed B-series engines. I want to get an idea as to what I should be looking into. Any help will be highly appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks guys. I e-mailed ACT and this is what they recommend:

Hi, for the power your making I would suggest a AI4-HDSS this can hold
up to
243ft/lbs of torque and offers the smooth street driving your looking
for.

I've driven a few puck setup clutches on the street. I've yet to drive one that was anywhere near enjoyable. Personally I'm going to do a bully stage 1.5 on my civic. Dual friction disk with an upgraded pressure plate.
