[s-cars] 1.8t dual mass flywheel swap

[todd at owensport.com]

I've bought that kit for as little as $450 US for early transverse1.8T's
that came with 220 mm units or have unserviceable 225mm units. It is still a
bit weak and asst 228-240mm single and dual mass combinations exist for
those making big power. They are very different from AAN. I don't think any
transverse clutches will work as they are much shorter. 2.7T Dual mass may
be very similar and available due to popular light flywheel swaps on 2.7t
cars.
