The rev hang he's talking about is programmed in due to various asinine emissions requirements. My 2009 GTI would hang when shifted below 3,000 rpm, both before and after I put the single-mass flywheel in it. However, above 3,000 rpm there was no rev hang as I assume VW programmed it so that there was no hang at higher engine speeds. Revs will fall more slowly with a dual mass flywheel, but they won't actually hang there artificially.
