I'm almost 100% sure its the flywheel fucked up...unless you checked it on a surface plate and indicator are you sure it was cut right?
And get new master and slave just cause they are cheap.

never heard of machining a pressure plate.....is this a typo or are you serious?
not trying to be a smartass i just really never heard of it...what exactly do they to a pressure plate?
If it were me, I would verify that the clutch PP was fully engaged by making sure the clutch fork had no tension on it. If no tension then the PP would be suspect in my mind. Possible oil contamination of the pucks. I don't think it is physically possible to put the disc in backwards because the springs would hit the flywheel bolts. Are the PP plate bolts torqued to specs?
As an aside note, when replacing the clutch master cylinder make sure that the push rod on the new assy is the same length as the original. It is always a good idea to replace master and slave together.

It could also be a faulty pressure plate. While I've never had it happen on a Supra, my first car, a BMW had a new clutch put in before i bought it.
Even stock it wouldent hold the torque of the engine when i would floor it in 4-5 gear.
I pulled the tranny and found out the fingers were bent in and it was obvious that while it was a new clutch, it wasnt clamping with the force it should.
Not saying thats your problem, but just offering suggestions.

Is this possibly a driver error? I put ~700 miles on my new clutch and then went to a track. It slipped a fair amount in 4th (more than the stock one ever had) Put some more miles on it and went to a bigger track, no problems in all gears and pulled better than before. I was still getting used to the difference in engagement the first time out and probably was slipping too much between shifts.

His clutch probably wasnt slipping....he probably thought it was with the boost leak...that's my guess.

if the clutch isn't fully disengaging it will cause the clutch to slip on the flywheel/pp and heat it up causing poor grip..
