Give us a clue mate lol. You would know if your clutch was slipping because the revs would shoot up and there would be a cabbage type smell, same goes for brakes.
You sure the smell isn't shit from your pants when you put your foot down, I used to get that smell coming from my passengers, and that was just in my Mum's Mondeo

Ok, I tell you. It's the turbo getting hot and that's what you can smell, every turbo car I have been in does it after a good thrashing
Like a sweet cherry kind of smell. That's how you know you have driven properly

yeah i was recommened to use one from a well known tuner, my mate also use the box in his rs turbo (in septembers performance ford,imperial blue one) which is 210bhp 241 lbs of torque and its been fine and he does alot of track days etc, cheaper than paying for an uprated cvh box!

That's because your car has never had a good thrashing, lend it to me for half hour
