Anyone bedside clutchmasters offer a smf ???

I'm not fond of my new clutch and the dmf , I hate the chattering and I mean HATE.
I absolutely refuse to spend 1k on a single mass flywheel from clutchmasters because they then overcharge for their clutch too..
Does ANYBODY offer any other PREFERABLY a lightweight single mass flywheel for the 2011 r58 turbo JCW ?
Are we able to use the n/a singlemass clutch setups in our turbo engines ? I don't see why not but I could be totally missing something but size, bolt holes ect all physically look the same....

Jcw smf

Have Clutchmaster clutch kit in my 2010 R57 JCW for about 35K miles. Used steel SMF and have no complaints. It is smooth and maybe a little
lighter to push.

I chose steel over aluminum as years ago I had a Corvair powered VW with an aluminum flywheel, It would rev instantly, but without mass was tough to get started smoothly.

I used what I think they called the RX100 kit, running lite tune.

Good Luck.
