    its pressure plate first of all haha

    secondly...no you do not need a new flywheel but you need to get your current one resurfaced

    What is the top of line clutch?

    As was said, you can generally resurface with organic or composite friction materials but if the clutch uses metalic friction material it's usually worn beyond a resurface by the time you know it's slipping ;)

    Not sure about the clutch but I bleave it is a stage 3
    The clutch that is in there isnt bad It still had alot of life left. Its just the cable went out one day and also found out about that plate.

    Although not unheard of, it's not common for a pressure plate to be "bad" and still have a usable clutch (unless it breaks a strap or something like that). I'm not sure but make sure you trust whomever is feeding you information here.

    How do you know if its the pressure plate if its still apart and the cable is out?
    Sounds like you need to take it somewhere that knows what they're doing.
    You also mentioned a blower or turbo, might want to decide on that before you decide on a clutch. There is different 'top-of-line' depending on application.
