Default Is my clutch slipping?

Guys,

I have a question about my clutch. I have a Exedy Organic clutch on my B16 turbo. When accelerating on first gear, i notice the revs of my engine speed up with no noticeable improvement in speed. However, when i powershift into second ido get a good amount power to the ground and spin your tires. I can chirp 2nd gear and 3 gear no problem at all. Then I got in my friends car with a Clutchmaster stage 3, whos' got less power than me, and his first gear feels like its pulling and he can also chirp his tire 2nd and 3rd, could my clutch be slipping or thats normal? Both of us are only boosting 5 or 6psi only.

Sounds like it. I wouldn't think that Exedy organic would last long on a turbo b16 at any rate, OK stock replacement, but not the best setup for an extreme application. I'd suggest Action or ACT. I'm using the Action segmented kevlar clutch and couldn't be any happier. Contact Rocket on H-T for opinions and a great deal, he's forgotten more about clutches than I know.
