i have a 93 gsx, everything is stock except for my exhaust. i have a 3 inch turbo back. i did have my BOV venting to the atmoshpere for about 3 days and smelt something burning. so i stuck it back to the intake again. now when ever i start my car or after i have the turbo spooled up it smells like that burning smell again. and there will be a cloud of smoke following me. i'm not sure exactly what's wrong. can anyone tell me where to start looking for what's wrong with my car? thanks!!
 
Depending on how long you have been driving the car, what you think is moving may not be. I'm not trying to be an A$$, but if you have never driven a fast car a slipping clutch in a DSM could still feel pretty quick.

Also check all your brakes and see if they dragging. Try to come to a stop using as little brake as possible after driving a few minutes. If everything is very hot you may have a problem. You could also pull a caliper and check out the pads. Just to rule brakes out.

well now that i think about it, it seems a little wierd that a civic si can keep up with me and it only has cat-back exhaust. so maybe my slutch is slipping. ### i should be able to smoke him since 1. the weather is colder and colder the air the bigger the bang 2. i'm turbocharged and 3. i can just drive better then he can. LOL. would i be able to feel the clutch slipping or is it something that i wouldn't really notice?

and alright I'll check how my brakes are. i know for a fact that they need bled alittle. but other then that they should be okay...hopefully.
