Default turbo destroying a clutch

i went FI about 5k miles ago and i think my clutch is finally kicking the bucket. i was wondering what the signs were as far as what your rpms do. Do the rpms climb slower or faster? Does it effect the speed of the car drastically, b/c my car is much slower and i would like to know if this is the reason for it. (hopefully so)

It seems like my rpms are just takeing their time on their trip to 9k I would have thought with no grip on the clutch the rpms would zoom to 9k. What do yall think. thx

The RPMs will rise rather quickly but the car won't accelerate. When you come to a stop you will be able to smell the burned clutch most likely as well if it's slipping.

Your symptoms don't really sound like a slipping clutch... sounds like it could be vaccum leak or something.

I had this same problem too. My problem was one of the sensors was dirty.. I simply unplugged it and blew the dirt out and plugged it back in. Now my car doesnt just make noise.. its moves!
