Lightweight Flywheel Chatter

To those of you who followed the post a few months ago, I recently installed an Aasco lightweight flywheel and Sachs Sport clutch in my 02 S. Work was performed by a very qualified shop. Since the first time I cranked the car when I picked it up, it has had a decent bit of chatter while in neutral and the clutch up. I've heard from many that this is a normal problem encountered on these cars when doing this mod because you are going from a dual mass to a single mass flywheel in a clutch hub designed for a dual mass. Lately, however, I've talked to a few other techs that I"ve had the car around, and a few of them suspect either a bad throw out bearing (both pilot and throw out bearings were replaced with OEM during the clutch job, along with RMS and clutch slave) or a damaged diaphragm.

Can anyone give some insight on this? Chatter normal, or is something not quite right in my driveline? The clutch actuation is beautiful, and the car drives great.
