Default Is it the turbo/heat or clutch is out?

every since summer came around (95 degrees) my car is very hard to get rolling in first. I step on it and it kinda bogs or is REALLY slow. Is it a sign for a new clutch or is it just too hot and the turbo doing it?

it drives the same...if its hot outside its hard to get rolling off the line, seems like i have to hold the clutch in longer and ease out of it for a longer time/distance.

Bad clutch for me = step on gas and revs go up faster than your actual MPH. Try going WOT in first and if the revs go up, but you aren't moving as fast as you should, then your clutch is going.
