Default LWF Release bearing question!

Is the release bearing the same as the standard Turbo part when using a LWF?

I've ordered the SACHS heavy duty bearing for the TT. Is this correct? What's the difference?

Maybe it was LUCKY that porsche only supplied 6 flywheel bolts instead of the 9 required and didn't have the other 3 in stock then!

I've got the wrong release bearing!

The LWF is slightly thinner than the DMF so the arms on the release bearing have to be a little longer.



The DMF release bearing has a polyamide insert to prevent corrosion issues with the guide tube.






So don't forget the larger (by 2mm) diameter guide tube. And to lube nearly everything with Olista Longtime 3EP.
