Default problems with new clutch and flywheel

I have 2 problems... well 1, and 1 other question.

had fitted an exedy single plate organic clutch and Fidanze 4.4kg flywheel.

1st - there seems to be alot more clutch juddery going on, is this because i have fitted a 4.4kg flywheel and its a usual characteristic with a flywheel of that weight?

2nd - Problem - I've covered 30miles with the new clutch so far, peaking at 0.5bar boost only. when i coast with the car in gear i get a scratching rubbing sound. when i dip the clutch it goes, and when i accelrate it goes. Its only when i coast and i'm in gear. Could this go once its bedded in!? it covered 30 miles fine and now its only just started doing it. Anyone know what else it could be!?

Scratching sound sounds like the release bearing to me, you shouldn't get normal judder, although a light flywheel will give some 'judderiness' at low engine speed, sounds to me like you have a duff install.
