I agree with installing the clutch before turbo. I dropped a pucked ACT HD in on stock power since I have no self control and I would have burned the ****** up with a turbo. I installed it and went for a drive a few days later and it held up great.
As far as the slipping goes, I used to rev it to 3k, then slip quickly to 2k, and then get going, but now I'm able to quickly blip it to 2k and then slip it very lightly. Usually engages around 1400-1500rpm.
Reverse is another story. 4000rpm or you're going to shudder the **** out of it.

I tend to agree with everyone else. If you are going to take out the tranny and know that you are going turbo soon and thus will need a new clutch change the thing now. It is a pain in the *** to pull the tranny unless you have a lift or access to one. There is no way that driving a miata aroound with a stronger clutch is going to put enough wear on it to necessitate replacing it in 5,000 miles.
I have had my RPS maxforce clutch (not sure they make them anymore) in my car for over 40,000 miles and it still works fine and I am at 12 PSI of boost.
