guess this symptom...

I am puzzled if my clutch is going, here is what is going on 1st, 2nd and 3rd are fine no slippng but while I am in fourth and start to build boost then go WOT it will slip for a second then grip...

What I am wondering is that I can do a burn out without slippage or punch it in 1st second or third but in fourth gear it slips for a second..

Wise people let me know..

Thanks in advance

Kai

Typically fourth gear is where it starts to show up first. Your clutch is heading south.

Hmmm...that doesn't sound like a good option, new clutch + more boost sounds much better.

I was running off the wastegate spring already, Boost controller was off...

Now I wonder if I should get a twin plate or just go with a single plate...

Right now car dynoed at 375WHP at 14lbs of boost, but I will be either going with a monster streetport or halfbridge probably by next year, so I will probably be at about 450 to 550 once all done..This is why I was thinking of just going twin plate...

I may be replacing my T04R also...
