Default Slipping clutch

Can a slipping clutch cause lower boost levels?

In theory I would say yes. Why? Because you are loading the car less when the clutch is slipping.

It produced 7-9 pounds before when it was dynoed and its only producing 5 but the clutch is slipping. It sure doesn't smell good. So its time for a new clutch. Your right Andre...the stock clutch wouldn't hold the new Hp and torque levels.

500RWHP + stock C5 clutch = time to buy a new clutch :o

Take it easy with it until you get the new clutch installed... I know of a guy locally with a Exedy Twin disk for sale... PM me if you want his number...
