The dual mass flywheel is there to stop the GETRAG rattling its head off.
If you put a solid flywheel in you WILL hear the gear box rattling, usually at idle with the clutch disengaged is when it is at its worse.
When I did mine, I thought that I had put the flywheel on 180 out or left a few bolts loose. Note, some billet flywheels can be installed 180 out if not careful and a bit of force is used.
With mine I did notice a bit more gear noise when in gear but, I had to really listen for it, at idle it was a shocker!
Trouble with the dual mass is that if you are a bit of a sporty driver you may find you start to destroy them pretty quickly.
Unfortunately a billet is the only way once you start to add HP.
Its unfortunate that people don't get given the full story or don't do any research before making modifications, surely there would have to be a heap of threads on here about billet flywheels.
