I'm also well aware what lighter flywheels do. I've run 9 and 11 pound units in other cars.
I don't like turbos. I prefer N/A. It's a free country.
At the end of all this, I just hope there's another useful product to spend money on.

I'm a little surprised at some of the seasoned responses to your previous posts. You're relatively new to the forum, so welcome. While I agree that turbos can lag, BIG turbos can lag, LITTLE turbos dramatically reduce lag (come online earlier, just lack in the top-end).
My last car I just felt the turbo was very finicky, despite Mike's e-tune from Innovative Tuning. With my lack of experience in programming/electronic engine management (drive-by-wire), I'll have to side with you that N/A is my preferred way to go, just to simplify an already complex modern-day engine topic.
