What's your experience with a new harmonic balancer and what noise did it eliminate? Please state what model (Fluidamper, etc. u used.)
following as well. Was considering the Neuspeed one
mainly to reduce the noise of upgraded clutch rattling that you will get with some of the stage 2 or 3 clutches on the market.
I would really like to hear someone's experience with the fluidampr before and after.
I have one, but had it installed at the same time as my stage 3 clutch, so I really can't speak to what it's doing.
The more I've thought about it, I can't imagine how it doesn't slow down revs with all the added weight.
I had if installed on my S3 which is DSG.....before it had some minor shrudder at take off...this would be the dsg clutches engaging. It completely removed that and any other minor fluxes at idle.I would really like to hear someone's experience with the fluidampr before and after.

My main vibration is at <2k rpm when under a power push (acceleration)
. It's a $400 accessory that I may have to try unless someone out there tried it and failed.
The idle vibration noise doe not bother be, but the engine vibration under low RPM acceleration does.
I took a year off... I did install the Fluidamper and it did not smooth out the <2000 rpm torque vibration. I have also since gone Stage II and the vibration is still there. So, I still have no idea how to eliminate the vibration.Did you ever install the Fluidamper and did it fix your vibration problem? I have the exact same issue after installing an ECS Tuning smf and upgraded clutch disc. In gears 4-6 at roughly 2000 rpm I get a significant vibration if I load the throttle to anything close to 50% or greater. If I downshift to take the revs above 2300 rpm everything is silky smooth again. It definitely feels like a balance issue in the motor or driveshaft but I can’t find any information out there about how to address this. I’m assuming my old dual mass flywheel masked/countered this vibration extremely well, but I don’t hear anyone complaining about the smf upgrade causing the vibration I experience. I only hear about gear chatter which is to be expected.
