what the heck is going on?

[blackeclipse]

I was racing a friend the other day and when i shifted into 2nd i spun the tires (bad, i know) then the car just bogged down. I was at about 3k rpms and it felt like i was at 1k in 4th but I could hear the turbo get really loud but almost no acceleration. Anybody know what caused it? If i dont spin the tires going into 2nd then everything works fine.

Sounds like your clutch is slipping. Go out on the highway and get on it in a higher gear like 4th and see if the same thing happens in higher RPMs.

edit: Are the rpms going up quick but the car isn't going anywhere?

Why does it only do it after spinning the tires?

Nope, the rpms go up really slowly so it feels like I'm a 1k rpm or lower. Sometimes in 3rd gear or 4th gear about mid rpms speeding up I can feel the car sort of shudder, not real bad but just a really slight shudder.

There was also a weird smell after and there was another time when I shifted into 2nd pulling onto the road, didn't spin tires or anything and it didn't go into 2nd at first but when it did the car revved up to about 3k for a sec then went back to normal.

If I get a new clutch what are the chances of crankwalk. My car has 107k miles and I know it's not as common as some people say but i still gotta be careful.

A performance clutch won't enhance your chances of crankwalk. If it's already at risk of walking, it's going to walk. If it's not going to walk, it's not going to walk. It's said that a FWD "might" walk with a 2600 but there's no proof. So if you're FWD and are scared of it, stick with the 2100 or similar.

Have you checked for boost leaks or done a compression test? That would help eliminate a lot of factors.

Haven't done a compression test cause i don't have any money right now. I might have a boost leak in the hose that goes to the bov. It gets cut by the hood cause it hits so sometimes it leaks.

Couple days ago my car started making the really loud psshh sound, and shuddering all of the time instead of just when I spun the tires going into 2nd. It does it in all the gears but 5th now almost everytime! Also sometimes when I just started it or it's idling bluish white smoke comes out of the exhaust.

Mine shuddered like that just after blowing my head gasket last week. It would shutter while taking off from a stop or just while accelerating from cruising. It's not happy Also, blue smoke means you're burning oil so the head gasket is something to look at. Don't just to conclusions though, that's a huge job.
