went for a run down to rainbow beach today and coming back off the beach at freshwater camp ground (still had hard tyres) i had to back off a little and cause i did the revs droped so a faned the clutch and gave it a boot and the revs went around to 5000rpm and i let the smoke out of the clutch!! stinks real bad that stuff!

so i let the car idle for 5 while i let the tyres down and it was ok after that, but it wont last much longer

Like anything, once the smoke is out, no going to be the same again...

Seeing as you'll have the engine out, you may as well whack a bigger turbo on while your there!

Never a nice smell hehe.
Lemme guess...you had to downgrade to a push-type clutch to allow you to run the dual range gearbox. Turbo's really need a propper turbo clutch, a pull-type. The NA ones can only last so long even with a heavy duty pressure plate

Mine's still holding up after a year of punishment but I'm sure it will slip soon!
