RPMs go up fast, no acceleration, it'll literally stink

Clutches can last well beyond that. It depends on the driver

Re: Is my clutch slipping? I've driven an auto before and it didn't feel like that

An automatic does not feel like that because it would never accelerate from 1000 rpms. It does for you what you are meant to do in a manual and that is to rev the engine up to 2-3 grand and then modulate the clutch and the gass untill it is all the way out. If you do it right, you can illiminate the turbo lag from a standing start.

car doesn't accelerate and it sounds like you are revving in neutral.

The boost still does not come on till after 2000 rpms

which means the power is not going to come on strong till 2500+. With a turbo you need exhaust gas to start spinning that turbo and your not getting enough of that while below 2000 rpms.
