Ok so i was out a drive tonight and i did notice a problem.
When accelerating fully in 2nd and 3rd the revs rise as normal, the turbo kicks *** at about 3.5k and then after 4 it rises then drops about 500rpm then continues rising as normal. Is this the clutch slipping???
Also how far off the floor is the biting point of your clutch when it is decent?...Mine is right at the top!
please help me!

Come on peeps give me some help!

sounds like clutch slip

BOB.T

If the clutch was slipping the revs would rise more than your accelerating, if you get what I mean

It sounds to me like you have a slight misfire, you could be overboosting a tad perhaps?

coulty

is the coil packs dying a possibility?

clutch slip.......but....... I would expect it to be most evident in 4th and 5th.

The rpms cutting out sound like t might be overboosting, has the car been modified atall? if the prtessure in the turbo builds too high then the ecu cuts fuel and the the presure drops boost pics up, pressure builds up ecu cuts ect ect ect. Its a bit like hitting a rev limiter. Mine usedm to do this, I got a small regualtor valve (I think thats what they are called) put in to the pipe and its curred it.

coulty

nope not modified at all and it isn't like hitting a limiter. It is more soft than that, more like a hesitancy.

Krade

I pop along to one of the loacl meets and get the gurus to have alook at it take it for a drive ect, get some hands on advice as such

To check for clutch slip:

Drive at around 40mph in 4th or 5th. Accelerate and if the revs rise but your speed doesn't then it's your clutch

If speedo rises in line with revs then it's not your clutch.

PS Sounds like your clutch to me.
