100k mile stock? Clutch

So I have 100k miles on what I thought was an original clutch. Been fbo for 50k miles and of that 50k I've been fbo e85 back end for 30k miles. I thought I was just waiting for it to slip until I installed inlets, 4bar and running map 6 targeting 22 psi. Starting to think previous owner upgraded clutch but it was a "lease work vehicle" so idk.

Opinions / when did your clutches start slipping on your 1ers.

Thank you!

mine slips in 1st and 2nd gear, stock clutch 84k kms. I'm running 360 whp and 415 wtq though. I also take it to the drag strip 5-6 times per summer so that also takes a toll.

It doesn't slip in higher gears?? Wouldn't that not make sense since there's more load in higher gears?

Yeah I'm what 2x your mileage with 500+ tq.. This doesn't make sense lol

Mine slipped after upgraded turbos. Before that I ran around 400whp for 60k. Total of 80k on car when it was switched out and the clutch still looked to have a good bit of life left. You're right it should slip in higher gears not lower gears.

Yeah upgraded turbos make sense, couple other people who have the same mods as me say the clutch will only last a few thousand miles the way I'm modded. Time for more research I guess lol
