I boost more than 1.2 Bar and I don't like my Fidanza. Alu is not a god material when it comes to high boost aplications, cause the heat is deforming the alu and the clutch does bot releas 100%. So the synros have more to work, I damaged already 2nd to 3rd gear syncro. My tuner and a punch of other guys warned me about using an Alu flywheel on my setup.

Pretty good prices for this flywheel I think. I'd consider getting this one.

CM flywheel for both my b-series, and fidanza for the d-series. The CM is just a rebadged fidanza flywheel, same **** different bag. The fidanza is cheaper as well.
