Put it in 5th gear while cruising at around 50 MPH. Wait a couple of seconds, then floor it. One of two things should happen.
BAD
1. You floor it, and right as the turbo spools up, the RPM's jump up about 1000 or 1500 more than they should, and you fail to accelerate at the rate that you should be accelerating.
GOOD
2. You floor it, and right as the turbo spools up, you start accelerating and within a few seconds you're now breaking the speed limit.

When your clutch slips, you'll notice it at peak torque, if you have a stock turbo this will be between 3000-3500 rpm usually. Clutches are rated at how well they handle torque, not HP so thats where a failing clutch is most noticeable at first.
