New transaxle options for V8 and /6 powered 914's, Kit for or DIY Options

It appears these things are fairly strong as is, there is a company making a "race" wet clutch assembly as well.

The PDK logic is pretty neat and I think another stand alone controller will be seen in the near future along with the Auto Bionic version.

Great thread on how they work.
If I read 1 post correctly you can read the voltages/signals real time with the Porsche tool (or knock off version of it)

PDK…

Awesome on track, autocross, or the autobahn—and pretty nifty upon first and subsequent exposure on the street. But for those who truly enjoy shifting for themselves, and that interaction with a car, it may only be a matter of time before they find themselves missing 2 of the 5 major control inputs available to a driver.

Still, a high-powered 914 with PDK would be a killer app for closed courses if the car was built around the technology. Its shift speeds, ability to access a gear up or gear down whenever, ability to shift with the throttle pinned, and tight gear stack are all super appealing. Downsides are weight and complexity. Not sure what PDK weighs against a 901 or 915/916, but it's 60-70 pounds heavier than a corresponding MT.
