Default Swapped my 964 RS LWFW for an OEM dual mass, I love it!

I have owned my slightly modded 996TT for 5 months, and the stage3 SPEC clutch was starting to go.
I bought a clutchmasters Fibertough to replace.
My TT has protomotive k24/18g, Blow6 IC's, 1 bar WG, stock airbox(finally got rid of my Evom box).
My clutch/LWFW setup was nice, 1st gear was very responsive, but the chatter drove me nuts.

Another 996tt owner asked me if I tracked car or planned too. I do not.
He suggested for street use I go with OEM, firmer shifting and no chatter.
I could not be happier!, 1st def loses something, but the dual mass and the CM grab hard and feel better to me in 2,3,4,5 etc gears.

The LWFW noise isn't for everyone.

For me, the benefits of the LWFW far outweigh the noise of the LWFW (and I don't track my Turbo).

The noise wasn't for me the first week, along with the GT2 upgrade pedal feel, but now I wouldn't have it any other way.
