Default new clutch for 05 turbo s cab

So my clutch is now completely shot with just under 24k miles. It has a FVD chip and DV's with a Speed Tech 70 mm exhaust and not that it matters but H&R springs also. So I'm thinking of doing some HP upgrades either later this year or next but right now my car is not really drive-able. I would eventually like to get the car making around 750 WHP but that is probably a few years off so what should I do now? I am thinking of going with K24/18 turbo or GT 28rs but probably not until next year. Should I go with LWFW or dual mass? I've heard professionals tell me both. Up until yesterday I was planning on Clutch Masters stage 3 with LWFW but got quoted a price I thought was high from my usual Porsche shop. So I'm also curious to know what you guys think that job SHOULD cost approximately. I know there is alot of questions here but I'm just really confused with what to do so I would appreciate any help. BTW I'm in north jersey so shops I'm considering are Protosport and EPL as well as a couple of other smaller places.

I just upgraded (from stock clutch) to that same setup, used my GT3 LWFW (single-mass), and now the "clutch chatter" is almost completely gone. That clutch is almost a perfect compromise for both track work, and street driveability.
I got a ton other stuff done (installed new tranny- thanks, Al!, new silicon boost hoses, new power steering pump, new Moton clubsport setup), and was charged about $2500, including cost of some parts.
Good Luck!

Thanks guys, my car is in the shop right now getting Clutch Masters stage 3 clutch with LWFW and 1 bar waste gate rods, cold air kit from Fabspeed new RMS even though this was not a problem. Also doing 2 new radiators since they were both leaking coolant a little. More mods to come in a couple more months.
