Default Flywheel question

I was driving lastnight and blew my ACT 8lb Flywheel. Would an OEM flywheel be sufficient enough to handle my turbo @ 15lbs driving casually? I dont have the time to wait for an aftermarket Flywheel to be shipped because I am shipping my car overseas Monday so I figure I would just use the OEM flywheel until I get the time and money to have an aftermarket one installed. Not sure about how long the OEM one would last-

Aftermarket lightweight flywheels suffer lower durability from a lack of material (thus giving it higher performance/lighter weight)

Oem flywheels are actually very reliable

Just keep your OEM flywheel, better than a lightweight on anyway. just get it resurfaced
