For a turbocharged car, there is no advantage to using lighter crank pulleys, especially for simply spirited use. Please look back and remember the difference in operation between a turbocharged car compared to an NA or SC'd car. I am only stating this as I'm inferring that when you refer to "boosted" you mean turbocharged. If I am wrong, look to how much power you're trying to gain before changing crank pulleys.

the shodan is correct.
to me there is only 2 options,
1 live with the stock and make power elsewhere,
or 2 at 11.49 when you need sfi stuff anyway replace it with an sfi approved balancer. (fluidampr, ati)

most race cars that use the ctr n1 pulley, arent worried about the abuse the oil pump and bearings endure.

personally, i would leave the stock pulley there. (strictly because of the oil pump carnage ihave seen.)
