Could be your clutch slipping. Does it smell like burning clutch?

 

[eclipsegsx6165]

no no smells and its a brand new clutch and lightened flywheel

That has got to be your clutch. Is your pedal adjusted properly? Wondering if you've extended the rod from the pedal into the master cyclinder too much to where you're pre-loading the clutch system.

Clutch!!!! Do you have a boost gauge?? If so what PSI? If not go get one!!! The stock one is lame. But if you are hitting boost is most likely your clutch. Maybe the shop that installed it messed it up. It happened to me, Twice!

yeah i have an after market boost gauge and im running stock boost on a stock setup the only thing that has been altered is a front mount intercooler an intake exhaust and the clutch upgrade that were mentioned before in this thread

Definitely sounds like your clutch. If you've been slipping it for too long you've probably glazed your flywheel. Do you have plenty of clutch fluid? I had someone install a clutch for me before and he didn't tighten the clutch slave cylinder enough. I leaked most of my fluid and glazed my flywheel pretty quick.

ok so if i glazed my flywheel do i have to but another one or can i fix the one i have

You can get it re-surfaced. I would adjust your pedal first.
