Well ya I have a 14b turbo, I'm not sure if the clutch is slipping though. How can I tell?

Do you have a stock one? If so, then it probably is, and if it isn't, it will soon. Get a better clutch.

I've never had a slipping clutch but my guess would be you would press the gas petal in, the rev's would go up but you wouldn't accelerate like you should. (i.e. slow acceleration or not accelerating at all, depending on how worn/weak the clutch is) Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

No need for correction, your dead on mobsta. A good way to tell isif you cant bark the tires going into 2nd gear your clutch is probably starting to go. By the way, my stock clutch that was slipping like crazy actually had plenty of meat left it just couldnt handle the power that the turbo was making at all.

So say I rev the car to like 6500 and drop the clutch and the wheels hardly spin, and it has the power to spin them alot more, it is probably the clutch that is slipping?
Also a few more questions, say your racing, Off the line do you drop the clutch or slowly let it out from a high RPM?
Isn't it really bad for the clutch to rev it high and then slowly let it out?

Thanks guys, I'm just trying to learn more, I'm driving a boosted car with next to know knowledge on anything about it!

Yeah youve got pretty much the right idea but you should probably start your own thread in the transmition/clutch forum, this thread has gotten way off topic.
