Question Is my clutch slipping?
I was on my way home yesterday and I was doing around 80mph. I gunned (racing some chick) in 5th gear, I really did not start going that much faster but the rpms jumped from 3k to 4k immediately. Boost was around 14 (yikes, spike!!)

Performance mods are:
dp, hi flow cat, apexi cat back, pettit ecu (intake should be here today or tomorrow )

RPMs quickly went up with no change in vehicle speed, yep, clutch slipping.

Time for that lightweight flywheel and hi-perf clutch

Sure sounds like clutch slip. I'd give it another test. Go up a steep hill in a high gear and then try to accelerate. If it's slipping, you should see the revs jump up but no increase in speed.

drop the clutch from a dead stop in 2nd gear and see if the car stalks, if it does then your clutch is still okay.
