Ok so here is what happened...

I pulled out in 1st gear and heard a loud *clank* *clank*. I pulled off again and had no power, the turbo still spooled fine, and boost was as it should be. It was just that no power from the turbo got the the engine. It still drives fine until i give it about 1/2 throttle. Then the rpms go up pretty quickly and my car doesn't really go anywhere, it just kind of walks. IF anyone has any ideas please let me know. I pulled the tranny and checked the disc, pressure plate, etc. and everything seemed to look fine. I am now stumped so if anyone has any ideas please let me know.
 
The flywheel and pressure plate look like they have gotten pretty hot, because there are hot spots on them. Do you think that could be the problem?
 
does your clutch engage right off the floor? or is it towards the middle or top? If its right off the floor then you could try just adjusting the clutch pedal out some......you could just not be engaging/disengaging properly. Have you tried bleeding the system as well? It might also be air in the system or even a leak........just things to look at if you haven't already......good luck :thumb:
 
The friction point is about middle. And also it would shift into gears normally, it wasn't the fluid either.
