Default Clutch disc help needed

Hello all.. My 02 996tt had a coolant line failure and has the engine out right now getting them all pinned. I figured while its out I would have the shop inspect my clutch. Previous owner had it replaced(see receipt attached) 10k miles ago and I am having trouble figuring out if he installed the oem setup or a gt2 upgrade.

The clutch slipped on me once in the past 5k miles on a quick takeoff/1-2 shift but besides that seems to hold power nicely and has never slipped on power in the higher gears.
Right now I am cobb stage 2 with tubi exhaust, air filter, and upgraded divertor valves.

My question to you guys is which clutch do I currently have in there after looking at the receipt below and should I maybe upgrade my clutch disc while the engine is out to insure it wont slip on me again. Disc's seem relatively cheap, so if it's recommended I upgrade the disc, which disc do you all recommend that will be sure to hold extra power yet still feel like stock. After looking up the part number, it seems I have the oem dual mass flywheel. What is the best disc upgrade that bolts up to the dual mass flywheel?
Thanks in advance..

With all the turbo 911's it's not the clutch disk that has the issue. It's the pressure plate failing due to age and less clamp force. You have a stock replacement clutch kit.

The strongest factory Sach's pressure plate available is the 764 Race Engineering plate.

I sell a complete clutch kit with this pressure plate for $1,595.00

Thanks I will keep this kit in mind. How will the pedal feel be compared to my current setup with your kit? Also, is it possibly to upgrade just my pressure plate since everything is basically new in there, or would that not be a worthy upgrade. Just trying to save some $$$ here since I have a large bill as it is with the rest of the labor, but don't want to cut corners if it's not recommended.

You may want to consider replacing some of the other 14 year old plastic and rubber while it's out of there. The vacuum lines and check valves are really easy to do where your engine sits now.
