    Default Turbo vs. Lightweight Flywheel

    When is a lightened flywheel too light for turbo applications?

    A common upgrade on 996 turbos is a 50% lighter flywheel than stock, or around 13lbs. That's a 3.6L. I have a 2.8L. I want lighter...I think.

    It seems like it would be difficult to get any data other than the difference in torque, if any, on a dyno...but what about spooling between shifts? Can't exactly test that on a dyno since you aren't snatching gears...or can you? What's the chances someone has data logged it, swapped flywheels, then gone out and data logged all the data to compare? lol.
