Default BIG acceleration problem, please help

BACKGROUND INFO-I have a d16a6 junkyard turbo setup w/ a exeddy stage 2 clutch with less then 3k on it and a re-surfaced factory fly wheel.

The problem is this. During 1st gear after 2000 RPM's the RPM's continue climbing with no acceleration. And the same during 2nd gear however after 3000 RPM's. I know the obvious answer would be the clutch but during all the other gears it does fine, I have detected no sign of wear and tear. I do not smell clutch or hear it spinning. The rest of the gears accelerate fine. I have only had the clutch about 2 months with less then 3k on it and I'm not a "crazy" driver so the clutch has seen no abuse, I estimate im making about 150ishWHP. Any help will be appreciated, this problem is driving me CRAZY. Thanks in advance.

this is a my ideas

but it does happens and is why clutches are broken in
maybe it crystalized... i have seen new clutches just get cryztalised and loose grip due to broke in not done right.....

on 4th and 5th u might not feel the spinning since the engine takes a while anyways to accelerate fast...... but if it does slip tru 1-2-3 then is a clutch problem...

second idea..... whoever surfaced the flywheel... since is a factory , surfaced it too much..... i bet they went more than 12thousands on it and now the pressure plate cant completely press the clutch due to less surface on flywheel
