Would you happen to know the weight of the OEM flywheel vs the Fidanza? Any chatter/noise coming from your light flywheel at all? Rough idle?

Curious how much power are you putting to the wheel? What turbo kit are you running?

The stock clutch and flywheel work fine as long as you don't abuse it by doing stupid stuff like using heavy wheels and overly wide sticky tires and being at high RPM and full boost before the clutch is fully engaged.... A light flywheel and better clutch is wonderful and improves deceleration when down shifting as well as acceleration so takes accurate RPM matching when shifting.

It is crazy, I don't feel as if I am driving as fast with boost..... It is like going out to a pistol range with a .22 and a .44 magnum at a later date and realizing that the difference in power requires you to exercise more control than you did previously.

I am riding on 9.5 lb wheels and stock size rubber to not overload the drive train, suspension and brakes... I prefer the smell of burning rubber to that of the material used for brakes and clutches.... If someone ask's you about your 0 to 60 times are and you can tell them the answer you are going to need to replace your clutch sooner than someone with twice the horsepower that can't answer the question but knows his 60 to 120 times..... There is no reason for the stock clutch to need replacing due to boost.
