Newly stage 2, clutch burned out a day later..

So I put in my downpipe, tuned car, everything felt good. But all of a sudden of a sudden 2 - 5 gears and slightly first slip, upon heavy acceleration. So lame cu I already got so much on my plate. My question bein, which kinda clutch should I get? Anyone got the hook up? Would be much appreciated! But I loved the stock feel, and it's daily driven, but I'm also tryina get a lil performance outta it that'll last long under good care.

Thanks guys!

Exedy stage 1 should be more than enough.

Pretty sure that's what installed in my car bought it at 50k im at 101k and no slippage whatsoever.

I was on exedy replacement organic clutch on my 06 stage 2. It felt a little better than stock and was going strong well after 30k.

Exedy organic is cheap everywhere. Remember to replace or resurface your flywheel.

It is odd though, it wasn't slipping at all before you flashed to stage 2 and suddenly it slips in near all gears?

Yessir! Idk how. I was thinkin of reflashing the map to just make sure. It didn't it at first but after the first day... :/ maybe the power difference just finally took it out after 75k.

Also, I was thinkin it could possibly be a boost leak. Broke a stud off turbo unfortunately. Not sure if that's my problem, considering all possibilities. My boost is sittin at about -10 psi at idle.
