Another noob question
I installed an ETS intake in my car. And ever since the RPM needle does not go up steadily anymore but jumps up and then back down. At about 4500 RPM's it will jump up to 6000-6500 then go back down to like 5000. In this video it shows a guy who just installed his intake but his RPM needle goes up steadily. Any advice on what the problem is or how to fix it is greatly appreciated.
Some further background: after I installed my intake my clutch started slipping to the point where the vehicle was not able to be driven. So I replaced the clutch and flywheel and I can drive the vehicle now but the RPM's are still erratic although not as erratic as when the clutch was slipping. They are only erratic when I really push the vehicle. Is the RPM's being erratic and my clutch going out at the same time connected or just coincidence? And how can I fix my fluctuating RPM's to be like in the video and what is causing it?

I upgraded and haven't updated it. I assure you I have an Evo X. I don't have a video. My clutch went out the other day though. I should have it back by Friday. If the RPM'S go up steadily I'll knkw it was a clutch issue.
But for clarification... I am driving the car. I decide to floor it for whatever reason and the car reacts. The needle in the tachometer shoots up to the RPM's mentioned above. Then slips down while I am in the same gear and still giving it gas. Then climbs back up again. Its strange. But if you say it might be a slipping clutch that could explain it because she just gave out.
