too much power?
My mods are as listed
APS turboback 3" with testpipe
APS cold air intake
APS bov
hks 264i, 272e
walbro 255
20 psi (boostflash)
dynoflash
i dynoed at 290h/315t, and my issue one the dyno was that my clutch began to slip, i notice when i hit it on the highway there is a second delay then the rpm jumps by 1000. im wondering if that is failure or just the fact that it is too much power. that dyno was with a gaint slip between 3200, 3700. just wanted to get some opinions,
this is besides the point but shelton mitsubishi in ct is bull****, i was just wondering if anyone has a problem with 4th syncro despite not shifting hard in that gear... they services manager at shelton wants me to sign something that says if it looks like its abused he will make me pay for the labor... should i agree to it or take it elsewhere? has anyone had any experience with it? thanks again

that is usually one of the first signs of slippage. You will also notice you need to take the clutch out further and further to engage. once the disk is gone you will not be able to engage at all and then you start breaking stuff. time to start saving

Unless you have over 500whp, wouldn't see why you need a twin clutch that's hard to use on traffic.
