I had the clutch for at least 3000 kms, before applying full power on it until today. Believe it or not, it slip in 3rd gear , running at 0.8bar (11.6psi). Is thgis normal, do i need to run-it-in more to get a grip?
Anyone had same experience??

i'm thinking of switching back to the yellow clutch set- curently having it fitted with springs on the disc to reduce the harsh engagement, for daily driving use.

i think that maybe your clutch isn't adjusted right. it doesn't chatter does it? try and lower your boost a little and see if it still slips. if you install your other clutch with the springs, it may slip even more. those springs in there are called marcel springs and are for exactly how you described them, daily driving use. and i think that if you run the boost your running now, your motor may put out way more torque than what your clutch is designed to handle so of course it's gong to slip.
so my advice is to try and get the clutch fork readjusted so that it fully engauges your clutch. and then see if your car slips as it used to. if it still does, try and lower your boost because maybe the clutch isn't designed to handle the power your engine puts out. i hope that helps.
