New clutch issues

Did you have the turbo and then get the clutch? Break in for most FI-capable clutches is 1000 miles or so. Don't want to be in boost during break in - that's why it's recommended you get the clutch and break it in before boosting so you can properly tune with boost without toasting the clutch.

If you buy enough clutch, that is not a problem. I have never broken in a clutch. Ever. It holds or it doesn't.

What was the price tag for the repair if you don't mind sharing?

That's a really good labor price. I've seen much higher prices posted.
