I haven't looked yet to see if the pressure plate has hot spots. I saw the vr6 clutch on kerma tdi and saw what they said about bigger injectors and a tune. I don't think I have bigger injectors but I do have a tune. Do you think that without the larger injectors it would still be okay?

Much depends on how much you shove the pedal down and when. My B3V wagon weighs in a ~3000 lbs (unloaded), has mild tune and std injectors, I'm currently running a Mk3 TDI clutch (not VR) and it's been fine, then again I don't really place a lot of 'off the line' demands on it.
Again if you expect to do some street racing with it then you'll need to upgrade the clutch to handle that. I think the VR clutch is pretty stout but maybe not if that's the direction you're headed.
I plan to do the same tune on my wagon to my 97 Mk3 I have and when that happens I will likely do new clutch, which will probably be VR clutch, which is pretty readily available.
I wouldn't replace a flywheel unnecessarily unless you needed to or because you felt like you wanted a lightened version.
As for the DMF comment above you can ignore it, these cars never came from the factory with anything other than SMF and very few have had the conversion done at this point.
Hope this helps you out
