Boost Leak or Slipping Clutch
I recently changed out my UICP, FMIC, and a put in a FP Green. I havent gotten it tuned yet, but now when i bring it up to 10 PSI, it acts like it is slipping. Is it possible that a boost leak would make the car feel like the clutch is slipping?

well the thing is, this is a twin disk. exedy twin SD. when i replaced the stocker(a year ago mind you, and no launches), the stock would slip steadily. this is kinda slipping but surging. its different than how the stock one felt.

If the engine revs and your speed doesn't change, either the clutch is slipping or... wait... there's nothing else it could be.
If the power is surging but the motor is in lockstep with the speedometer, its something else. Best way to test it, put it in 5th at about 60 or 70 and step on it. If it slips you'll know.

OK Update:
I think the clutch is going. Damn SD Twin. The boost rises, the RPMs rise fast, but the car doesnt move. Its gotta be the clutch. Grrr.
I am about to be making 430-ish to the wheels. Which clutch do you recommend? I might go FP Red in the future, and i dont want to replace yet another. So what should i get? I was contemplatng the Triple Disk and just say f*** it.

I had the SD in my 8 and loved it. It had all kinds of miles and launches and it was fine when I sold the car. I'll probably buy another when it comes time to do one in my 9.
If you are looking for another clutch, I guess you could go with the HD version of your clutch. Thats if you want to stay with an Exedy.
