OK, here's the deal. No problems what so ever before I did a clutch install. It was my first time so the car was down for a while, as I have limited time and tools. Once I got my first 500 miles on the new clutch, I decided to try a light launch, around 2500 rpms. Immediately the was a bang clunck sort of noise. The clutch held so I babied it through the gears trying to figure out the problem. Checked my gauges and noticed my temp was through the roof. At this point I realized that I just threw my belts. I put them back on and continued driving for a few weeks until I have money for a new pulley and all new belts. I just changed everything and now it bogs down bad. It only bogs at wot, and is worse and the gears are lower. Hence 1st bogs way more than 3rd. I don't have a boost leak tester yet, but I have tightened everything dozens of times. Plugs and wires are less than a year old, and I am running the t-too small on stock boost, so it is not fuel cut. Car is not smoking at all. Any ideas?
