slipping clutch but only under boost...?

What you are experiencing is consistent with a failing clutch.  It usually
starts to slip in high gear under full load -- where there is the most
torque on the clutch.

There could be fluid on the clutch, no way to tell without taking it apart
unless fluid is dripping from the bell housing :-)

I need to do the "clutch" on my 5ktq, too, as my throw out bearing just
failed... BTW I have a "new" reworked clutch from Centerforce that I am
going to put in.  The reworked clutch was about $220, and should be good for
awesome HP levels.

Best,
