P0108 Tranny Still Slipping and Still need Help

Okay I am still in trouble. New Clutch and car still feels like its slipping.. when I step on it the traction control light turns on and stays on. I am getting a engine code of P0108. Over boost? Now would this cause to feel limp? will it make it feel like its slipping in High RPMs? Now when I am at high RPMs I hear a noise like a rocks in a metal box. If someone can help or lead me in the right direction. My mechanic says the overboost is making car go in limp mode. I just dont understand the slipping.. RPM going up and Speed not as much..

Rpm's going up...and speed not going up much...sounds like the clutch...not sure about the codes or anything. But worth a bump to keep it near the top.

Bro... JAN is a genius!! I talked to him 5 min on the phone told him my problems and he gave me my answer.. I almost did not believe him when he told me the solution.. It was the catalytic converter. He told me its was plugged up and I need to replace. I took it out and as he said cat was melted.. completely fried. I installed a test pipe and WOW its alive..

How many miles on that catalytic converter? It's not an OEM one mated to your headers is it? Would be weird for it to be melted already.

5k and it was a magnaflow cat. So if anyone buys a catalytic you need to buy ceramic cat not metal.

Good Catch
Did you note the exhaust being any quieter when this started happening?
