There is rediculous race part you can buy for 200/700/900 B2xx but can't find it at the moment, think was around £800. Try turbo bricks, similar parts to 360, but you may have to mix and match clutch plates. Depends how much money you have I suppose.

I have heard a few stories on TB of their flywheels breaking and coming through the car. Im not sure if it was from that company though, but I wouldnt want hitting my leg...

don't know abut that, its kinda hard to get the flywheel to go in such a way i would do harm to the driver. it is possible for one to shatter the housing, but that it rely kinda fluke unless its not balanced right or made to thin. from what i have see people do to the stock ones i think it will be ok.

Making it too thin is it what I was worried about, theres alot of energy in a flywheel, its the point of one

There are no stories of ttv flywheels having problems. Problems normally involve lightening standard flywheels. Flywheels need to be machined from
Billet to be ultralightweight.

PO-Metalli (PO-Metal) here in Finland makes steel flywheels for redblocks which weight from 5 to 7kg. Cost for one is around 300-500 euros.
Another shop is BlingFactory which also has a webshop and ships world wide.

Prices for ~7kg redblock flywheel are around 300 euros.
