car getting slower

Well when I first got my turbo kit on it was fast as ---- but six months later I can barely pass a dick head in an F-150. Sure it still boosts to 7 psi but it won't burn out in 1st or 2nd like it used to. Had anyone every had this happen. I think that it might be the injectors that are shitty or I have a boost leak but I don't know.

Re: car getting slower

Re: car getting slower

this is crxrx7. Yeah I let my sister drive my car and I could smell the clutch. So I am guessing thats what it is then. I was afraid of that. Well looks like a new clutch.

Re: car getting slower

Re: car getting slower

do a compression test first .. lot less work and money .... but i would also bet clutch ... and if it is stop betting on your car.. you will free rev a blow your ---- up ..
