What spools a turbo faster: Light flywheel or Heavy flywheel

Re: What spools a turbo faster: Light flywheel or Heavy flywheel
A friend tested a light flywheel and a stock flywheel on the exact same setup (2g eclipse with a TD06) .
With the light flywheel it does spool up faster(not by TOO much) and rev way faster to redline once it started to spool.

Lightweight flywheels make the engine work less to cause the same number of revolutions.
It's kinda like running small ports on a turbo-manifold. Smaller diameter tubing will decrease spool time (increasing velocity), but cause more backpressure in the system, correct? You'll probably spool the turbo faster, but overall your car won't be any faster as you're wasting energy?

smaller ports (to an extent, you dont want them TOO small) will increase exhaust gas velocity and increase turbo spool. Kinda how if you port out the exhast ports in a cyl head too much, youll end up with a lag monster t25

A flywheel has nothing to do with harmonics, because that is what the pulley is for.
