hi guys i my g40 was fast ! but had a sliping clutch and the boost pipes to the intercooler were restriceted as fook! so ive changed them for proper pipes and i changed the clutch for a stage 1 drive tourqe clutch made buy LuK i have done about 220 miles since the change so i thought i would put my foot down to see how it goes but it wouldnt go anywhere like there was no boost? but it drives fine going slow driving up to 3000 revs in every gear just wondering if any one has seen this problem befor or have any ideas ?

1st thing is you need to bed the clutch in. 220 miles is not enough, it takes around 500 miles to bed in some clutches.
