Which brings me to a question I often have: take a turbo car and do a roll
on in first gear -it runs out of revs because of the gearing before the
turbo can really start making some boost. This being the case, are
lightweight flywheels really a good idea for a turbo car -wouldn't it like
the load a stock flywheel provides, and to not keep form outrevving the
turbo?
