I think the only company with the reddish pressure plate is Southbend, as the Spec clutch is blue and the KY clutch is black(at least in all the pictures). So it is a decent clutch. As to whether you should use a previously used clutch of unknown mileage/condition, that's another story. Best bet would be to just get a new clutch.

Probly should have, barely a month of driving and the clutch is slipping bad, any way to tell from that picture if i should buy a whole new clutch kit or just the disc?

yea that clutch will be great for your power levels now, it will likely live for quite a while with the turbo swap.
