Smell in car during heavy acceleration - Exhaust Leak?
Under full boost, I get a strong smell of fuel/oil/exhaust in the car (something). I don't know exactly what it is as it quickly dissipates once the car is off boost. It does not get me dizzy, nor does the car fill with a cloud (yikes!).
It happens with or without the heat turned on. Some suggest broken heat exchanger, broken exhaust manifold...? Anyone have this problem and find a fix?

does it smell like clutch material (similar to the smell of cooking breaks) burning?

No, I know clutch smell. The clutch is not slipping, and the smell quickly goes away within a few seconds (as boost drops).
I have never noticed a large cloud behind the car during boost either (and the car does not go through oil at any crazy rate).
