@Absolute - is just a mounting dowel that needs drilling on the TTRS pressure plate and you should use an original / TDi friction disc with the correct spline mounting. Is worth googling diy RSR clutch kit to get more insight and parts numbers etc.
Another clutch option is the new stage 2 kit offered by ECS. As the SMF is still moderately heavy, it should give a decent compromise for daily use and avoid the potential reliability issues of replacement DMFs.

Cheers @colesey. I'll look into that some more.
APR Stage 1 is booked in for Wednesday.
I wonder, do you think it's a DIY job? I don't mind getting my hands dirty, but honestly, sometimes it's more cost effective to get someone with a set of ramps to do it.

It's certainly worth getting someone to do a clutch as it's a royal PITA, but the labour rates really stack up.
I'm planning to do mine this summer as the DMF is fooked. I'm going to pull whole drivetrain out through the front. Bumper off, radiator stack off, unbolt downpipe etc....piece of cake.
It's far more satisfying knowing you've done big jobs yourself......and it's the best way to learnl.....and is the cheapest method. Win win.
absolute:
Yeah, having looked at the installation guide ECS tunnig provide for their clutch kit for the MK5 Stage 1, it looks like a 3-4 day for me
Might look for a cheap run around this summer, or get a quote for fitment of a new uprated clutch.

Sounds like a good time to upgrade intercooler if you have the front of the car apart
