Default questions about clutch or spark plugs

ok, i changed the saprk plugs and that didnt do ----, so im guessing its my clutch, so is that why my boost keeps going down or is there another reason, im guessing the clutch is sliping so there is less of a load on the engine and the turbo isent staying spooled up, does that sound like the problem? has anyone had a problem like this before?
