I'm replacing my heavy dual mass flywheel in my tdi with a 10lb steel flywheel. I'm betting it will: bump start smoother, accelerate faster, shut down quicker, and save fuel from less energy lost accelerating the flywheel. That project is still a ways away though, can just synch shift for now. But some people have figured out how to drive a light flywheel just fine, takes a bit more clutch action on getting rolling.
