Ask for transparency on the part cost, as the labor addition is negligible since the clutch AND flywheel already have to come out to get at the IMS. If they're quoting $300 on labor ask them to kindly remove that and just accept it. If they're charging $1100 on parts, it better be genuine Porsche as an Luk replacement is retail $550-760 depending on which site you shop. Not sure if they're lumping other parts into that price either (throwout bearing for instance.)

throwout bearing is generally part of the clutch kit
