So I have a turbo leak.. could this have anything to do the spike? And no I haven't asked the shop yet. I'm thinking about just getting it replaced at another shop.

A leak won't cause your clutch to slip. The symptoms you described are definitely clutch related.

Thanks

Haha so yeah, it was unfortunately my clutch. I got my car towed to FW-Motorsports(DB Tuned) and Paul took care of me! Another thing is that I'm running a Perrin light weight crank pulley and I guess when I got my clutch done before, my fly wheel wasn't resurfaced? And on top of that, it was a light weight flywheel. But yeah, got it all taken care of and now my clutch is stiff fuhh.

Out of curiosity, did it seem like an incorrect install? Or faulty clutch?

When I got my first clutch job in February, they didn't resurface the flywheel and on top of that, it was a lightweight flywheel. I ran a Perrin light weight crank pulley so basically it took so much more power to move the car. Paul said the clutch kit didn't even look brand new so it's possible I got used parts. Shady business.

Anyway, with everything that I've been through with the car, I actually sold it for a REALLY good price. Especially because of the mileage >_>.
