That's exactly what I thought.

A friend of mine always told me he could put his car in neutral and hear his turbo boost. I always told him there wasn't any need for it to boost as he wasn't moving or shifting.

You might be able to build a couple psi in neutral, but you won't get anywhere near full boost.

Sweet!! :thumbup:

I got mine at Prostreetonline.com. They have all ACT stuff at 10% off. Where did you order your's at?

Ebay. $604 shipped for both.

I would think that if the engine is going through the powerband faster with a lightweight flywheel, it would spool faster. I don't see why you need inertia to build boost when it is only built by exhaust gas that is dependent on RPM and load.

With less inertia, there is less load.

Oh shit, you got me there. I guess I contradicted myself with my last statement and didn't even know it. h:

I just did a search on the intraweb and found nothing that supports this. In fact, I found a bunch of stuff that says a lightweight flywheel will help reduce turbo lag. Which makes sense to me. Quicker revs = quicker boost.

As to the point where some of you were saying you can't build boost in neutral... Some cars are built that way so a bearing isn't spun while needlessly reving in neutral. Also, do you hold your gas peddle to the floor in neutral for longer than one second?

I guess we will both have to test this theory when our lightweight flywheels go in. It makes sense to me either way but we will just have to see.
