Hi guys! I recently replaced my stock flywheel with an aftermarket lightened flywheel. When I drove it for a test drive I noticed that it changed my boost setting. before I replaced it i only do a stock boost of .10psi after the replacement my boost peaks on 15 psi.
The question is, does changing an aftermarket lightened flywheel relevant on sudden bosst changes on my 4efte?

Morning buddy,

I've just driven my own gt after fitting a lightened flywheel (and lsd box). Certainly revs a bit more responsively but boost has remained the same, definitely nowhere near the gains you are seeing. Not sure if that helps but I'd be interested to hear a few others opinions.
