Evo 8. 03 hks turbo timer. 65000mils

 

sounds like a slipping clutch

 

+1 slipping clutch it is. start looking for a new one

 

agreed on the slipping clutch

 

It looks like it is time for a new clutch.

 

Slipping clutch, and no the oil change would not cause this

Test to make sure your clutch it slipping, get on the highway and get in the slow lane and get into 5th gear bring the rpms down to 2500rpms and then punch it let it hit full boost and watch the tach. IE: if your steady climbing to 3000 and suddenly it jumps to 5000rpms and then goes back down to 3000 you have a slipping clutch.

 

thxs guys for the quick reply. ill hit the 5th gear idea today after work.

sounds like clutch, from what i have read get act single or step up and buy a twin disc

 

the question is are you still on stock clutch?

 

ya still stock. is there a way to make it so it will last a little longer till i can come up with cash. like adjusting the clutch pedal.

 

Just drive normal depending on what normal is to you

 

Stay out of boost and don't slip it from a start.

 

I think it's an upside down BOV........ Welcome noob!

 

WTF! Thats classic.
