Anyone here have any recommendations on a good flywheel? Right now I am considering one from Autotech and one from Fidanza. Does either one have cracking or premature wear issues that you are aware of? Are there better manufactures for the VAG cars that I am not aware of? If you have any insight to these questions or recommendations, please let me know. Thanks so much in advance.

 

Specs billet steel flywheel is nice not as much chatter as a alum FW your car will sound like a semi if you go alum

 

SPEC steel flywheel, its not too bad, the chatter is noticable especially when it gets hott. But it just makes the other guys think that your car is broken haha.

 

are you doing a clutch too?

 

Yes, I will be doing a clutch as well at that time. Currently mine is still holding, but I am preparing for when it starts to go out. I want to have the inventory on hand and not be trying to shop last minute for these part. It's also nota good idea to replace a flywheel with a used clutch.

 

+SPEC+, I have heard nothing but good things about them in TT's. There was a guy on Vortex who had problems but that was because of improper installiation. Other than that, I have about 8K miles on mine and love it!

 

I have the fidanza(waiting to be put in). I know it will be fairly loud but because of my connection with Zoom its kinda what I had to go with because they are doing my whole clutch setup... I only had to pay $180 for it.

 

Why do people say your car gets louder with a new flywheel? Also is it the lighter you go the louder it gets or something?

 

Its called "clutch chatter" its not that it gets louder when your driving, its only at idle.

 

yes the lighter weight the more chatter you will hear....
