The 90 to 93 900 16v turbo clutch is not far behind in terms of size. Lightening the flywheel should be carried out by someone who knows exactly what they are doing, as flywheel failure can be disasterous. It is debatable as to wether lightening the flywheel on a turbo engine will be of any benefit, Regards Tom.
