saab specification. they have a unique flywheel balancing according to people I've worked with and they balance to extreme levels. so getting a flywheel aftermarket that is balanced properly to at least a saab spec. is an important consideration.
your post is interesting. i do not understand how your point works. are you saying that, since the car is under greater load stress to turn it's wheels, that the amount of air running through the turbo is greater at equal RPMs for a stock flywheel car over a lightened flywheel car? which makes it spool quicker?
i would like to consult the oracle on that (is the oracle reading?). just because load stress is higher when you turn more internal weight, i can't figure where the extra air comes from. and i don't think hotter air results in the turbo spooling differently than cooler air, but i don't think the air temp is that much different in either case (under load/acceleration).
no data on my end, please educate me further. maybe i am missing something. it wouldn't be the first!
