Default Lightened Flywheel for turbo yes or no?

well im gonna go turbo and i know i upgrading my clutch but what about the flywheel should i buy a lightened one? I was told back and forth yes and no, but one hit me he said that a turbo make boost under load, so if i get a lightened flywheel itll accelerate better and not have as much load wont that mean something bad for boost? well im getting frustrated let me know from the people who have reallly already experience this on what is better to do.

trying to move the car will be load enough to spool the turbo..

you might not be able to rev and make boost off the line.. but you should plenty make up for a touchy launch for top end...

I would go with it, you'll need to work on your launches, but the combination of the lightweight and boost should make for some quick pulls, as well as more responsive downshifts. Also, if you have the right setup, you'll find that you should be able to maintain compressor RPM so as you can achieve boost very quickly after shifts.

Dont get it. Lightened flywheels are better suited on N/A setups being that the weight that puts load on the motor and inturn produces boost is gone (well...some of it, you know what i mean).

I on the other hand like Oranges..and bears DO ride motorcycles....booya.
