Okk i am running only 15psi of boost, i am running an ACT 2600 with fair amount of
mileage (around 16000), with FIdanza 7.9 lbs flywheel, and just recently, regular driving
(aka ####yfooting the gas, because GAS IS 2.75 per gallon for CA shitty 91). and i notice it was slowly getting harder and harder to go through the gears, but the clutch felt firm still, i figure its probably just the tranny and clutch is hot since it was like 96 degrees at the time. So i kept driving back toward my house and got home, and then later that night i go out to my car start it and notice the clutch feels mushy, not like a 2600 at all. AND i had to MUSCLE it, with alot of clutch pumps to get it into 1st. i turn off my car and go through the gears, and every gear is butter, so tranny is good, i check under my car and under hood and dont see any leaks, and i check my fluid levels on mastercylinder and they were still at good level. So right now i think do i need new street disc for my clutch, new throwout bearing, or new mast cylinder. I NEED SUGGESTIONS on what the problem is. So any sugggestions would be very helpful.

Might be a bent clutch fork.
Check under the boot of the master cylinder, up past the pedals, for leakage.
Check your bell housing bolts.

96° isn't hot, to the car. Hell, it's not even hot for Californians (105° here, now :toobad: ).
 
Like Defiant said, check for leaks at master cylinder under the dash, slave cylinder, rubber clutch line under the uicp, check the clutch pedal assembly for free paly then bleed and flush the system really well.
