turbo spools up and car reaches 4k then it just acts like eveything is slipping but clutch is fine????
 
Do you have anything to check your Trims, or have you recently gotten any air or fuel mods? When i put on my MAFT i showed i was running rich. Everything was set at 0 but i would read 80 on low and mid trim. My car would not pull in 1st obove 3500 if i was pulling any boost. Turns out i was running too rich. Leaned out my MAFT base as much as 4 clicks and i'm pulling like a banshee all the way to redline with 3-6 counts of knock. hopefully its something this simple for you
 
yeah boost leak test, could be fuel related? bad/old fuel filter? im not totally sure by what everything is slipping means.
 
Wow...vague. Couple questions:

1. How do you know the "clutch is fine"?
2. Any recent mods?
3. What current mods?
4. Running a BOV venting to atmosphere or have you removed your "honeycombs" from your MAF?
 
clutch is brand new
mods are in profile
did not mess with MAF
and am not venting into atmosphere

So of slipping is the turbo spooling up and getting nothing out of it
and yes I did do a boost leak test and replaced the fuel filter, plugs, wires, and did the magnus mod to keep my motor from checking for a random miss fire.

And Littlebeeper what did you mean you went four clicks on you MAFT was it clockwise or counter clockwise?
