While the parts cost is high, the labor rate is on the lower side (for quality Porsche work), so the total, while not cheap, is pretty fair. You're certainly not getting totally ripped off.

Also, as the above post implies, just assume that you'll need to replace the dual mass flywheel. Unfortunately, its stupid expensive.
I don't meant to be Debbie Downer, but you might as well start to get your head around spending over $2K for this job. If by some strange chance that the flywheel doesn't need to be replaced, then consider buying lottery tickets because your luck is hitting big time!
And now you see why many of us DIY the clutch job.
