My car would die occasionally when coming to a stop light with Proto software and LWFW.

I have a full UMW solution. Love it....you may need smart software....

Faster UP and DOWN revs. You need to pay attention to rev matching more.

Do yourself a favor and test drive one. Kevin does tune his software for the LWFW, perhaps Todd will do this for you as well.

They're noisy on a street car, but i couldn't imagine not having one on a track car... Matching revs and shifting improved greatly when I swapped to mine...

If you would share your planned use for the car, it would help with recommendations. All street? Some track?

LWFW and good clutch/pressure plate assembly are good assets for the track. The engine revs up more quickly than with the stock dual mass flywheel and makes it easier/quicker to match your engine revolutions with the transmission gear revolutions for smoother downshifts.

Do not consider an aluminum flywheel (tends to warp). The GT3 RS wheel is quite light in and of itself---11 to 12 pounds, as best I remember as opposed to 40#+ for the stock one.

There is an UMW used I can get , but everyone is saying the Aascon is better , should I get the used to match with my EVOMS stage 3 clutch?
