Fidanza flywheels are good stuff. That vendor however is not one I would deal with. I speak from experience. Stay as far away from that guy as possible.

Before installing a one piece flywheel, you need to recognize why the OEM unit is two pieces (dual mass). These engines are short on torsional dampening, most OEM’s use a large mass dampener on the front of the crank to absorb these stresses, Porsche moved it to the flywheel, where in combination with the sprung disc it absorbs drive line shocks, and the flywheel provides torsional relief for the crank and rotating assembly. Without the dual mass flywheel, you run a significant risk of crankshaft cracking or failure as there is now nothing to dampen those stresses. We have seen more than one crank failure for this exact reason. A one piece light weight flywheel can be used if the engine is disassembled and fully harmonically balanced (which the OEM unit is not), but that is obviously a big buck approach to getting quicker RPM response……
