Slipping in 1st and 2nd gear after lightweight pulley
I just got a Perrin lightweight pulley installed and it has been working quite well for me. I notice a difference in lo RPM's. But sometimes I feel like something is slipping in 1st and 2nd gear. It just doesn't have that "pull" or torque. This happens on-and-off.
Can it be the pulley? Or could it be that the clutch is slipping?
When it seems to slip, I try throttling more and then car barely moves and the RPM's get to 4-5K! What the heck is going on?
Mods: Perrin pulley, borla catback, Worx Bov, Samco IC hoses, grounding kit.

If the rpm's skyrocket with no appreciable increase in speed, your clutch is definitely shot. It happens most in gears 1-2 because you're applying the most torque to the clutch.
Time for an upgrade!

burned it only 2 times..but not that bad..but otherwise pretty easy on the clutch.

I don't know what installed prices are at your location but here is one example of my California installed pricing (U.S. dollars) with an aftermarket Exedy clutch.

You may want to check with your dealer. Wearable items such as the clutch, brakes, & wiper blades are supposedly covered under your 3/36 warranty. I was suprised to find out that my front brake pads were worn after 25k miles. My dealer said "no problem" and that they would take care of it under warranty. Results will vary since it would seem Subaru dealerships are inconsistent when it comes to service and warranty work.
