[Mk2] [Turbo] Flywheel
Can a stock Rev3 flywheel be lightened or is it not worth it, looking at getting it skimmed to fit my new HD clutch

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Flywheel
it can, but most tuners dissagree with it.
i believe its because it needs to be balanced in accordance with the crank
im no expert though

Doesn't have to be balanced to crank but helps.
The reason people don't like to do it is because for normal road driving it can be a pain in the ass in most cases you need to adjust the revs to idle at around 1100k
From what i have read up on some of various forums about lightening the flywheel they don't recommend it on a turbo. Something to do with the turbo spooling up a lot later but cant remember the full facts on it. All i know is from what i read it put me off doing it 100%
