New Clutch + New Flywheel + UNICHIP Compatible
So, I'm ordering my new engine tomorrow and i've decided to replace my clutch and flywheel. What should I go with? Would it make sense to get a competition clutch? Any Advantages? What flywheel? Also, the engine I'm getting is a cls auto so would any ecu upgrade work like unichip, etc.?

The UniChip would only work if you converted your car to an auto. Since you have a 6 speed it's worthless.
BTW...I hope you have done your reading on what parts you need to swap out to make the CLS auto engine to a CLS6 engine.

Actually the UNICHIP will work on the 6-speed if the harness were modified. The UNICHIP isn't compatible with the 6-speed at the moment only because no 6-speed was ever available to develop a PnP harness for the ECU.
Fabricating a new harness is a lot easier than converting the car to an automatic transmission.
