45PSI on a stock turbo??? i didn't know they could handle that much without blowing up or something

Anyway, there was a couple times last summer I thought I could feel my clutch slipping a little in 5th towing uphill. Just the slightest shudder or surge was all I felt...no change in speed or rpm's, and the couple times I felt it was coming home from camping when it was warm hot out in the late afternoon. My wife said she didn't notice anything....maybe my imagination.
