There is a thing of too light. I think the general consensus was around 65% of the aaz flywheel stock weight and it still was ok for vibration. I think zukgod1 had one that was 6lbs and said it was bad. Which would have been a tick less than 50% of stock weight. Stock weight was IIRC 12.8 lbs.
All 020 info btw

My AAZ flywheel weighed 12.6 and was taken down to 8 lbs

The current flywheel on my mTDI weighs 16.5 lbs. There's noticeably more vibration at idle. When I replace it to upgrade the clutch I will go with a stock weight one.

Lighter might be good for quick launch, but the price may be more vibrations and harmonics.
(My first VW had an aluminum flywheel, but that was a Beetle with a Corvair six.)

The pressure plate and the disc determine the clamping force, not the flywheel (unless it is machined with the wrong distance between the two steps).

Much debate on the topic. I lost 4 pounds on my flywheel on my NA AAZ and that thing reved awesome, and it didn't vibrate excessively or anything strange.
but you lose bottom end pull, right off the line..
there isnt as much spinning inertia, so it will take more pedal to keep everything spinning when you take off..
diesels dont rev that high, or that fast.. i see no need for a lightened flywheel..
ive run stock 19# wheels, stock 12# wheels, and even a 9 or 10# wheel once..
the 19# wheel really makes it hard to hook the tires up..
it just breaks them loose and turns them to smoke whenever you shift hard..
the lightened wheel was so weak, that i ended up separating the engine and trans just to switch back to a standard gasser flywheel..
my car shook worse, and it didnt have near as much pull right off the line..

Yup Kev, I agree.. Lightened flywheels?? ARE WE RUNNING HONDA'S??
Wanna know what revs an engine up quicker? Faster boost and fueling

making the engine breathe better improves throttle response..
when i changed from stock manifolds, to modified manifolds, i noticed a change in throttle response..
