The Clutch would stink to high heaven if it was slipping

I'm betting you have a bad Intercooler Hose that's leaking off boost

Do the RPM's go up but car doesn't accelerate when this happens? A slipping clutch is usually very obvious.

... so this was easier than looking at your boost gauge I suppose...

Not sure if there's a language thing going on here, but you're making it real hard to help you
