Lighten the FW & it'll idle like a bag of hammers in a dryer.

That's what I would've thought but some have said it's not bad, I think it depends on whether it's in a mk1 or mk2.
'82 Rabbit, I put on a euro vnt-15, 2.25" DP, 2.5" exhaust, the result.....it whistled.

I removed the turbo, made a toilet bowl 2.5" DP, the result....it was deafening. Now it has a homemade muffler up front and a thrush in the rear, the result.....less loud.

if you want a light weight flywheel, use one off a gasser, they are lighetr than the gasser unit, and from my experiences, not too shaky, but you do lose some bottom end grunt. (here we go again)
92 Jetta GLI - Black, 1.6D w/ GT2056V turbo..
86 GTI - 4 Door, Med Twilight Gray, Tow Machine..
86 Audi Coupe GT - Tornado Red, All Stock.. WRECKED.
89 Toyota 4Runner - Dark Grey Metallic, LIFTED!

Turbo: exhaust gasses go into the turbocharger and spin it, witchcraft happens and you go faster.

and if we really want to get into bottom end grunt, the 2006 Chevy Duramax 1 ton sitting in my driveway would pull the frame right out from under your dodge 8)

No one cares about your chevy ;D...........

Even a 1.6 NA will have more bottom end grunt than ANY similar size gasser. VW 1.8 gassers actually have enough idle power to let it idle in 1st gear to get out and push when stuck, they quit though as soon as it gets traction. Diesels do it waaaay better though. I know the Japanese cars I've driven can't nearly do that, they die as if you shut the key off.

I think this is rather far off topic.

lol, good thing its not my chevy, i will not own one.. there are not many vehicles i will own..
