I'm thinking it could be my clutch slipping instead of wheel hop in higher RPM 1st,2nd gears. I have the stock clutch still at 50K miles. The boost is only set at about 6psi, but the power comes on in a real rush in these lower gears and I either get wheel hop or clutch spin. I don't smell a burning clutch, but I also don't keep it spinning very long whenever this happens. Anyone have any ideas?
I know it's not the wheels spinning b/c I never leave marks and there's no peeling out sound.
I need to get rid of this either way. I'm putting in motor mounts soon. My next guess is a new clutch. I'll need one eventually anyways.

Clutch isn't bad as long as you have the tools. It's an easy 1 day project. If you want to roll up my way, I'd be happy to give you a hand (once I get the RS out of the garage of course). Hell, I've even got a couple of used stock clutches if you want to be cheap about it.
