Background: I have a friend with a K04 MK6 with an RSR clutch. It's a nice setup, but the RSR clutch is almost $1k. I've been reading about the DIY TTRS setup since the MK6 days and decided to give the FCPEuro kit a try.

Old pressure plate:
Old disc:
New PP. I drilled the holes out to 6mm first using a 45 deg countersink bit to help guide the drill bit and then used a 6mm cobalt bit to finish the job.
New disc. Note the "Gearbox side" marking on it to help ensure that it gets installed the right way!
New Throw Out Bearing:
Installed and ready for reassembly:
Misc: Car has only 3500 miles. JB4 map 1 since 1000 miles, and then conservative map 6 at 3000 miles after installing CTS downpipe. No issues with slip but am looking to push the car further in the future and didn't want to worry about it.
