rev problems?

[downimpact]

Haven't had the car long so not sure if this is normal? I think not hence the post.

I've noticed that when i put power on at anything revs, the revs will jump up then drop by about a thousand then pull again as the turbos spool. This isn't really the result of lag is it? As surley the revs shouldn't drop?

Unfortunatley i don't have a boost gauge as the car is stock. It alos seems to require about 2-4 revs in first to get the car off the line at anything aproaching normal speeds.

Any ideas? Getting worried.

auto or manual, educated guess would be manual!

yeah sorry manual.

sounds like slipping clutch to me, be carefull longer you leave it and harder it slips, you may put heat spots on your fly wheel and have to change that too.

Accerlarate slowly once moving and see if the revs go up correctly whilst moving faster

my thoughts were clutch slipping, just checking it wasn't something the turbos or something. Any ideas of cost?

[Whitesupraboy2]

price of clutch + labour which should be about £180 so i reckon for OEM clutch from 3rd party supplier not Toyota, but maybe partco.

bout £450

any possible upgrades? better clutches?

ive limited knowledge on that as i have a NA. Depends what your wanting to do power wise? also whether you like the feel of standard etc..

Haven't had it long enough to feel the standard seemed fine first 2 days i had it then seemed to slip when i planted it in 6th after cruising on the motorway.

Big power is the way i'll eventually want to go, but anything that'll speed up gear changes or hard waring or light weight would be good.
