Weird squeal - MOVIE included to help diagnose problem
I have a weird squeal coming from my car - a 94 si.
In first gear, under WOT, it squeals from 5-7k
In second gear, under WOT, it squeals from 5-7k
In third gear, under WOT, it squeals from 6-7k
In fourth gear, under WOT, it doesn't squeal.
In fifth gear, I can't get up to 5k without doing 110+, so I can't really test it.
I'm wondering what a clutch going bad sounds like. The sound I have sounds like a mix between a squeal and a whine. When I rev the car in neutral, there's no squeal, so I'm pretty sure it's something having to do with the transmission. At first I thought maybe my tranny gears might have been screwed, but the decrease in squeal range as I upshift makes me think that it could be the torque overpowering the clutch.
I recently installed a greddy turbo kit, so is probably the cause of the bad clutch, if indeed it is the clutch.
Can anyone think of what else a noise like this might be? And if you agree with me on it being the clutch, how can I make sure that it is the clutch, before I rip out the tranny and install a new one?

Also, I had a clunking at low speeds coming from the driver's side - I replaced the axle as I suspected it, and the clunking went away, but it had no effect on the squealing.

Is the clutch stock? One of the first things to replace is the clutch, as added power puts added stress on the stocky. I really dont know what else that squeal can be, but Im just an amateur.
