I am sure this question has been brought up before but which would be the best clutch for turbo applications. I was thinking about going ahead getting the street ACT but I am not sure if that will be strong enough or not(thoughts or opinions). thanks

ACT street clutch is more than enough for normal turbo. If you go high boost you will have to upgrade to better clutch, one thats not as streetable.

What do you have Mike? Also, what LSD do you have? And how necessary do you think these are since you have a turbo.

I am running a Helix twin plate 4 puck clutch, stock flywheel and Quaiffe ATB differential. Clutch takes some doing and requires a spacer plate for the bellhousing, also the bearing carrier for the half shaft needs to be machined.
Clutch is very on off style, excellent for quick starts though.

You should probably wait til the turbo is done like I did. Since ACT actually recommand using a clutch that has 10-20% more torque holding power than what the engine outputs.
This question has bothered me as well. I will wait for my dyno on Monday to tell me the which clutch to go for. :)
