not sure about this one but i would think you would want to keep the heavier flywheel to give you more load on the engine at lower rpm's to spool the turbo. not really sure though

I like that my car revs faster, but a lot of people say the heavier flywheel has more rotating mass. Lighter means it slows down quicker. Heavier means is slows down slower.

Or something-something... :P

quicker acceleration...quicker deceleration. i like mine. better torque...less rotating mass. i still spool up quick.

id go for lighter.....once your clutch is out your car is the mass not the flywheel. so shave that bitch like a lamb that owes you money!!
