They take a standard LWF and bolt on a machined weight ring to the flywheel. Works quite well. I had it balanced before installation (after discussing it with Andial, it really wasn't clear that they balanced it).

I thought they took an 89 weight flywheel and added weight .
From my discussion with the guy , it seemed he thought an 89 weight flywheel would cause the motor to stall . I asked him if he knew that people had done good work on the dme chip to keep motors running lighter than 89 flywheels from stalling , he said he had no knowledge of them and that he did not think I was correct .

You should investigate what I had done on a race car (not Porsche) approx 15 years ago.
We had a small 1.7 liter engine that delivered its max power around 7000 rpm. The IDLE was really poor, almost impossible to maintain it under 1300 rpm (aggressive cams and carburetors).
I had added an electric clutch with an approx. 10lbs flywheel bolted where a fan used to be.
Every time the engine reached 2000 rpm the clutch de-clutched, which avoided the additional weight to affect the engine's velocity.
