Help! My RPMs are dropping at wot

I searched and found that when your clutch is slipping your rpms will rise. This is not my problem my rpms will slow when full boost comes on and drop 200rpms then climb back up a moment later. I'm very concerned

That's the same thing. It's slipping at peak torque, then falling back down and catching.

Put it in 6th on the highway at 2000rpm and floor it. Keep it floored and see if you feel the clutch slip right when the boost builds. The typical way it works is you get a quick rise in rpms without accelerating, then when the clutch catches, the rpms drop back down and you begin to accelerate normally again.

You should really get a new clutch though, you're not getting the performance you should be and you'll need one soon anyways.
