Fidanza Aluminum Flywheel?

[passat TS]

[ Converted text/html to text/plain ]

Also, keep in mind that a lighter flywheel does has a trade off. You gain on
HP and quicker RPM gain, which is what a turbo engine wants, but in a NA
engine it will eat some of the low end torque. A 7A engine would be an
exception, since it kicks in at higher RPM's.

Just my $0.02,

Carlos.
