Stock clutch probably just can't handle the power of your turbo setup.

look for a clutch that has the specs that can hold the power you made with your turbo setup

Sounds like you wore out the friction pads on your clutch disc. Time for an upgraded clutch. I'd recommend the ACT HDSS or HDR6

Thanks a lot guys. Well i have a stage one (1) Clutch master, and i thought that should at least be to handle. I"m not sure what i'm making right now. Have no clue, like i said just recently install the turbo. It's a DRAG II kit. have my turbo manifold jet hot coated, a walboro fuel pump, fmu, and a Apex'i N1 exhaust sytem. it's only 2 Quater pipe. I thought they will make the 3 inch but no they don't. Don't really like custom pipe because i had once and it sound awful.

Don't for the reply, So is ACT really better than Clutch Master? What price is right for the correct clutch ? and Once again thanks very much for helping, Peace!

Hey PhazedSI, What do you mean by friction pads on the clutch disc? I don't know much but does it really mean i can't drive daily anymore? Will it at least last me another few months? please help .

Well theres friction pads on both the clutch disc and the flywheel. when the clutch is engaged these pads mate surfaces and join the engine and transmission togethor to spin at the same speed. When the clutch is disengaged the flywheel can spin freely. When the pads on the clutch disc wear the clutch begins to slip(instead of mating the flywheel and clutch spin at different speeds becuase the friction surface has wore away and now the surface is begining to become smooth). Its hard to say how long your its gonna last you w/out driving the vehicle. you will know when it starts to get really bad.
