G60 flywheel / VR6 clutch & pressure plate is a bolt in upgrade with stock VW parts.  Make sure you have TDC marked on the flywheel before installation, and don't bother with a lightened flywheel, I'm told it doesn't work that well with a diesel.

Our diesels have higher acceleration / deceleration forces as the crank rotated than a gas burner as we have 3x the compression ratio. Keep the stock flywheel and you'll see less vibration. This is part of what made things interesting for Subaru to develop the first Boxster diesel.

Subaru has a diesel boxer motor? Is it new or old? Any more info would be nice!
