Default Issue im having, think its the clutch

Looking for more opinions,im currently stage 1 with an upgraded diverter valve, when I get on the car the turbo spools but the rpms shoot up and the car isn't going any faster which to me would be the clutch can't keep up with the power that its on its way out, 03 92k miles live to hear more opinions to pin point the problem thanks

Assume it is a manual? Then if the rpms climb quickly but the car does not accelerate, your clutch is slipping. Same thing happened to my A6 about 10k miles after I chipped. I put in a stage2 clutch and the problem was solved.

There was some damage to the flywheel so I replaced it with a lightweight. It revs a little quicker, allows the engine to slow down a little faster (due to less rotating mass), and the only other difference is a little chatter when accelerating from too tall a gear (e.g., running about 20 and shifting into 3rd or 4th). I was looking for a long term solution so price was not as much an issue. I chipped the car at 75k, replaced the clutch and flywheel at 85k, and have 204k on it now.

Ended up going with a south bend stage 2, what a difference I love it!
