New flywheel installed... Throwout bearing is 1000x louder... WTF?

On all three counts.

Chris, I'd be sick too if, after spending all that money and having my car out of commission for so long, that it results in my car sounding like a tractor.

So what's the benefit of the lighter flywheel? Can it really be worth the sound which is claimed to be normal? NFW in my book.

Do we all get too wrapped-up in making mods sometimes? I've yet to do something as simple as wiring my EVO R fog light only because I'm leery of taking the rear deck trim off and tapping into the factory wiring harness. I'm probably going to end up taking it to a stereo shop that has experience taking apart interiors and tapping into existing wiring.

It's been my experience that something unexpected always seems to happen, and I would have been better off leaving things alone. For example, when I had my Nav by-pass harness installed, the nav screen got scratched. The shop has been upfront and ordered a new screen and will be installing it next weekend. Still, it's a pain, and who knows what will get scratched/left unhooked/etc when they replace the screen? Am I going to find a bunch of dash rattles, who knows?

I'm not saying this is the case here, and I hope things get fixed to your satisfaction. Keep us posted and good luck!
