I have always said ---- the lightweight flywheel, my stock one works fine, so I'd rather spend money on more important stuff.

Turn the boost up 1-2psi and you will notice a difference too.

running the 12lb ACT on my setup. daily driven and i love it. i think its a good balance of fast spin up but not too fast when it comes to spin down

I got the 11 or 12 lb steel one from lsd and i like it. Its not that expensive and its brand new and you rev faster, so why not? If you're replacing the clutch anyway, you won't need to have your flywheel resurfaced because its brand new do it. Plus if you sell it to a ricer down the road, saying it has a lightened flywheel is like saying it has jdm turbo rocket boosters. probably a solid $2-3k on the asking price

stock ftw. more load on the turbo pins you in your seat.
