Post Slipping clutch???
My car is pretty much stock: Here are some videos of what I'm trying to show you. Car feels like its going nowhere if I WOT....it boost fine so I can rule out a a boost leak. Besides that, the only other problem is my cam seals a seeping small amount of oil when I WOT. Videos are in order.

1) why is your temp so low? do you have a thermostat?

2) do you have an aftermarket boost gauge? or just relying on the stock one on the gauge cluster?
(nvm i saw your boost gauge in the 3rd video)

3)if your clutch was slipping, it'd seem like the car was free-revving at times the rpm's would rise fast and the car would literally feel like it's not going anywhere.

4) are you sure about boost leaks? your boost seems to build slowly for a 14b

Definitely not a slipping clutch. like it has been stated, . +1 on the water temp, that's LOW. Also, just b/c you build boost doesn't mean you don't have boost leaks. You can still build the same amount of boost, the turbo is just pushed a lot harder to build it. If you're set to 15psi and have a big enough leak, your turbo could be spinning as fast as it would normally take to make 20+psi just to make 15. You'd be running really rich with a massive boost leak. Do you have a logger so you can see what's going on? Have you done a compression test on the engine? How much boost are you running? If you have a fuel delivery problem or too much boost you could be getting a significant amount of knock. With a lot of knock the engine pulls a lot of timing and the car will feel like a slug.

Give us more info on what mods you have and log if you can to see what the car is trying to tell you. Also do a BLT and check compression on the motor.

Compression Test, BLT, and no, I don't have a logger :(
@ Erix: When I WOT on the boost video, I was in 4th going 45...hence the slow boost build up, I lay into the throttle, I didn't stab it. If I stabbed it, it would start breaking up like in video 2.

@Clint: I will do all the small little test and also, I was looking on DSMtuners, and saw it could be an ignition problem too, any way I can test the coil pack?

P.S. I don't know who wired up the temp gauge, but I'm really thinking who ever did it, wired it up to the radiator. I have an aftermarket analog temp gauge and it reads 180-190 depending on weather and how I drive.

If the breaking up is what seems to be slowing you down then yeah, it could be ignition related. Check plugs and wires. But, if it's sluggish even when it isn't breaking up I'd suspect something else.
