Default Fidanza flywheel question

My vehicle is a 2000 Audi a4 1.8t FWD with the ATW engine code. The Fidanza
application guide says that their flywheel only fits the AEB engine code.
I've sourced other stock replacement flywheels and they spec the same
flywheel part number for both engine code applications. Does this mean
that the Fidanza will work for both as well or is there something unique
about the Fidanza that will keep it from being used? I believe the only
difference is that the replacement will require longer bolts. The
factory specs 2 separate lengths of bolts (22.5 and 43mm), the AEB calls
for the longer bolts so they should be the right length for the Fidanza.

Please help me out.

DO NOT BUY!!! I had fidanza lightweight flywheel before and its a piece of ****!!! In low revs, especcialy starting in first gear, it seems to not transfer the power correctly to the wheels. It almost seems like it slips a little and feels like ****. I swapped it out with a amco lightwight flywheel and had no problems. My buddy that works at a tuner shop also said fidanza flywheels are not good for audis. By the way, the car i had it on was a 98' A4 FWD which was for the AEB code engine and it still was bad
