You'd probably be better of putting your guides in your head. lol

I've read somewhere on the site that you don't need too light a flywheel on turbo applications.
As I can't find where, maybe it is BS (had to do with low speed working of the engine)

If you rework your combustion chamberss as per Vizard (no reason why not) then you need skimming back or less skimming and less dish in pistons (probably cheaper too)
Or you can talk to benross to put money where power is made (head)
