^ this. And make sure you use a proper aligning tool when installing, and break it in properly, don't beat on it for like 5-800 miles

I even went so far as to turn off my tune for the first 300 miles; tune on and <5lbs of boost until 800 miles.
I didnt go WOT until my trip meter said 1000.

Yeah I did. It helps to have someone help. I had a buddy of mine help, the tray is quite heavy for such a little car.
2 suggestions if u choose to do that. One is to get an engine bar, and second is to take the throttle body pipe off so you don't crack it like I did lol. And plan on about 7 hours or so, best to start Saturday morning just in case you need extra time

Here's the diy I followed. Just gather your tools before hand. I was pressed for time so I used the tool SB sent, and I fabbed it up a bit to make it work properly, but I definitely do not recommend doing that. (Made the install take longer and there is no guarantee that it works as well as oem)
If you are mechanically inclined don't shy away from the project, this was my very first clutch job

I treated mine similarly, and it hasn't let me down yet.
I would definitely follow Sebastian's advice on this if you can. I paid to have it installed, cost me $2200 for install and parts, so just shy of a grand to have it installed. I didn't go to a cheapo installer though either, went with Achtuning, which is an APR authorized dealer in the area that is beyond amazing. Definitely save yourself the $1000 if you can. (not that I regret their job or work, but because I'd have rather saved myself the money for something better, like a FMIC or half of my K04).

It LOOKS intimidating... but it really isn't once you get in there... U literally take the tranny out, unbolt flywheel, bold new one in, thencenter clutch plate, pressure plate, and throw out bearing. then reassemble. Honestly the hardest part is with the axle flange. but as long as u have a strap to help push it back in you're golden.
You can use a prybar off the one corner of the block and it goes right it.
OP, the hardest part is getting the trans back in. If you have a lift and 2 people it's not bad, but doing it on the ground sucks. There isn't a whole lot of room for 2 people to be rolling around under the car trying to get it in straight. Getting the trans out and the clutch swapped is cake.
