^^ I hope you get done with your project right away. I would love to know if your clutch holds up. 
I need to make my decision ASAP.

I put an OEM AP1 flywheel in my AP2. I like the combination a lot. I had a super light flywheel in my '03 and vowed to never do it again. The super light flywheels (i.e. less than 10lbs.) just kill the car's drivability. Just my opinion.

If you're looking for another clutch manufacturer the Clutch Master is also highly regarded. The breakin period is longer but the kevelar seems to last forever and has a very light pedal.
FYI - The ACT pedal feel is heavier then OEM.

The ACT clutch (street disk and HD PP) are fine for this kit. ACT has also just redesigned the PP for the s2k.

I run mine (ACT street PP/Disk) with a Competition FW, I think it's at 11.5 lbs

Do you have to remove the Air pump to install the IC piping?
Will you offer a BOV recirculation kit?
Does the wastegate dump to atmosphere?
Are you using some kind of brace to hold up the Turbo?
What is the estimated delivery on the initial orders?

If it's one year on the manifold, then I'll go with my original plan. If it's say 5 years on the manifold, then I may have to reevaluate my FI plans next year. The problem with manifolds is they don't crack first thing, they wait awhile.
I guess the real question is, are you sure enough on the quality of your manifold to go more than 10-20k miles (what most people would average per year on a DD). I'd hate to have the manifold crack 2 years down the road and have to buy another one or scrap the kit. The nice thing about cast iron manifolds is it'll probably still be in one piece long after the car is in the junk yard.
For now I'll take your word for it, and wait and see. God only knows when I'll actually get around to getting ANY kit at this rate
... I need to win the lottery
