Was it the Turbo or the clutch that just blew?????

[TalonRacer024]

OK so i am driving down the street right now and my car won't accelerate. It takes forever just to get it up to 15mph. i have to rev it up to 5000 before it will even start to move. Also there is this high pitch schreeching noise whenever i am on the gas trying to get it to move. There is also the horrible buthole smell coming from the front( i think) of the engine bay. Would these be symptomes of a shot turbo or a shot clutch? Please help me i need to know!!!!!!!!!

Definately a sign that your clutch is slipping, hence that sweet clutch burning smell. Time to rest the car and buy a new clutch.

a shot turbo would only seem a little slower until you tried to run hard, then it would seem really slow. There wouldn't be a "horrible butthole smell" coming from the front, nor would there be a terrible screech.

horrible butthole smell. I shutter at the thought of how you can now recgonize that smell elsewhere.
