Default do i need new clutch?

i think my clutch is slipping. when in 3rd or 4th gear if i accelerate hard the revs get to about 3k then they carry on rising but the engine doesnt really accelerate the same and then it levels back out. i am sure its the clutch because it is doing it when the turbo is spooled up fully and producing the most torque.
is it definately the clutch slipping as i obviously dont want to pay out that sort of money without being sure?

what would i need? (which clutch? do i need to replace flywheel?)

my car is a uk99 turbo with prodrive performance pack but the prodrive exhaust changed for afterburner vortex.

did you get your flywheel replaced or skimmed?
where did you get your clutch kit from?

Default Clutch

Mine was doing the same so changed it yesterday. Put in a helix organic clutch along with a lightened flywheel.
Took a day to that & a cam belt kit, waterpump, plugs & lightweight pulleys. Keen to play with it today!

do you have to replace flywheel when doing clutch?
how much of a difference does a lightened flywheel make?
