Thats a 2 parts question,

Yes.
I dont know, a bit. (10-20%?)
My na6 has a 1.8 based combo.

thanks Dan,I thought i'd get a quick answer if you were here.

are they actually a larger diameter or just higher pressure?
i keep thinking about putting a supercharger on at a later date,so thinking something with bigger diameter would be easier(cheaper maybe) to upgrade.

I dont think its stronger as such.... like you can get beefy NA clutch brass button puck clutch and that would be 'stronger' than an OEM NB clutch.

The clutch cover plate on the NB has 'fingers' that are a bit longer and bigger so you can potentially get more leverage ie less pedal effort.

I the surface area of the frictional material looks pretty similar to me.
every ounce counts
