it looks like you believe the myth of the 'spirited drive' system adaptation crap .........

you should try a bosch hammer adaptation. the real thing is great.
mythbusters even did a segment on the myth of the spirited drive system adaptation for a 964 and they confirmed the myth was busted.

If I had been talking about adaption, I would have only had to do it once. It's not adaption, it's something that helps while the engine is cold. So, please take your axe and grind it elsewhere.

In your previous posts which I linked above, you believe in the spirited drive myth.
In this thread, you mentioned your car stalled.
I suggest you try a real DME adaptation with the bosch hammer and post results.

Yes I said my car now stalls with the LWF but only when the engine is COLD. It is a minor annoyance for the first 10 minutes of the drive. I posted how I 'manage' it a the moment but I know how it could be solved:
1. Get an RS DME (which is almost impossible to find and would be very expensive). Or;
2. Get an off the shelf chip (but I'm a little dubious of those because I've heard they can lead to the response that the LWF has given the throttle getting dulled down). Or;
3. Get a live re-map from a recognized Porsche tuner (I'm considering this)
A Hammer won't do anything because it can't change the mapping in the DME to pick up the faster drop of the revs that occurs with a LWF. You need one of the three options above to do that.
So, no I won't be taking your advice of putting a Hammer on it or posting the results. If you feel so strongly that the DME reset procedure in the DIY section is a myth I suggest you badger a moderator about it (seeing as it was written by someone else).

If my idle was screwed without a LWF, imagine the outcome with a LWF.
Worse when cold, but slightly better when warm (although still an occassional stall).
Finally resolved with the bosch hammer adaptation.
I dont see the harm in giving it a shot .. a 5 min process. Anyway just a suggestion. Not sure if it will resolve the problem, but i can confirm that the spirited drive adaptation is a myth unfortunately.

I've had an RS LWF for about 3 years and have no stalling issues. Other than the conversion parts I did nothing else and have no regrets. Except for some low speed gear clatter it is a great upgrade. Driveability is very good and it does wake up the car a bit but nothing like the feeling of 50 extra hp that some led me to believe.

I've had mixed results with my RS flywheel. At times I've struggled with stalling issues, which is very frustrating. And more frustrating than I would have ever imagined. But last year, my stalling issues were significantly improved for unknown reasons. I'm not convinced that the stallikng issues are behind me permanently, but I'm really, really hoping that they are!
As for performance, I believe that the throttle response is noticeably improved. However, I tend to agree with 1990-964 - the difference isn't night-and-day.
For a 100% street car, I'd recommend staying with the DMF. However, if it were me, I probably wouldn't take my advice...
Good luck!
