I've checked the pulley diameter on the duratec and its bigger then the puma pulley (132mm vs 120mm). Ideally you'd want a smaller under drive pulley for a race car not a bigger one. So you'd have to use a duratec under stove pulley (won't be cheap), or a custom fabricated pulley. I could do the pulley for you for cost of parts, and then you'd just need a duratec crank sensor and a mounting bracket. If your not into making that kind of stuff, let me know and I'll get you a price for the lot as a bolt on kit, you'd just need to extend your crank sensor wiring.
I think you'll be better to to talk to them and see if they can sort something out, I personally wouldn't reccoment making the stock wheel lighter anyway, compared to a lot of flywheels it's already very light, there isn't much that can be taken from it without compromising structural integrity. If you can get a refund, it might be an idea to just do that and look at the alternatives, I know your already out of pocket, but sometimes its best to cut your losses instead of chasing the loss and throwing more money at it.
