OK,
Just wondering, which is better for use with a turbo.
A standard weight flywheel or a light weight flywheel.
My logic thinking would be that the light weight flywheel would help the car when not on or developing boost to be more revvy ? Or is this not correct.
Which Flywheel with turbo

Boost or not - the weight of a flywheel will determine how hard it is to make it spin AND to make it stop.
Light flywheel = revvy but will struggle more going up a hill or at load.
I would not put a lighter flywheel on if boosting, but that is just my 2 cents.

I just used a standard flywheel (although off an NB8B though as mine had cracked) for my car, and it seems to do the trick
