Default A little help on Flywheel decision

I'm sorry if this question is asked thousands of time or not but as what i was saying, I'm planning on turbo my motor (b18b). I have a stock flywheel and another stock one but it's been lighten. it's about 12lbs. Which one would be better. In my mind, i think that the lighten one is better but Let me know on your opinion. Thanks in advance...

Use back the stock one as it can take more abuse than the standard lightened one. I dont think you got it balanced after you removed the metal right?

If you can get a JUN 1 piece chromoly flywheel or anything similar.

Don't lighten a stock flywheel, you really don't want it to come apart. In addition to destroying everything, it can kill you. Spend the $250 and get the right stuff.

Throw the stock flywheel that's been "lightened" away. It may have been fine for pushing 100 hp, but after that it's best use is a boat anchor.
Stock will be ok if your tight on budget. Your probably not going to notice the extra 5 hp anyway.
If your going big boost, then you need a big budget. Toda, ACT.

If it's worth doing, then it's worth doing right. (or something like that) Don't half-*** it or you'll just end up regretting it later.

That still does not mean it safe, in fact, I would be a little more worried about it
