Arrow Is My Clutch Slipping?

I didn't drive my fd for like 3-4 days. Today, i let her warm up and then for like 20 min i drove her slow and nice. I went to the highway and this is what happend.

On 1-4 gears, it looks like the clutch slips right on 4500 when the 2nd turbo comes online. At 4500 goes to 5000 and then comes back to 4500.

At 5th gear it happens at 2500 rpm. Goes to 3k and then drops to 2500. I don't know if my clutch is slipping or something else. However the clutch has a little play when i press it.

Any comments are welcome.
Thanks

Yea sounds like a slipping clutch. It gets worse with time too.I've been driving on mine for about a month. It will sometimes slip real bad a rev way up and the car goes nowhere. It makes you real gun shy to race anyone. My engine is coming out so I'm waiting till then.

how long do you think i can drive it like this without boosting her up that much?

Also how hard is to change it yourself?
