Not if the engine's properly managed.  It should be fine.

*slap* "BiAtCh!"

Well me and this guy best not have a lightened flywheel :D :D :D :D :D

I did think about getting mine done before, but CBA with waiting as I wanted the damn engine in. Even if you don't lighten it, its still better than the dual-mass.

qpeng is not in my view proper managment it removes too many safety features plus you lose diagnostic's.

But it is your choice.

imo best to use the stock ecu as long as it's still sutable ( esp as it's very easaly tuned )  unless your going to use dogs bollox aftermarket the stock ecu is very capable and has nice safty fetures
all the VW's have gone bar 1.
