Well, youre gonna loose revs a whole lot quicker with the lightened wheel, right? So, boost would drop quicker as well. I personally wouldnt want that on a street car. Just my thoughts

the only time you lose revs quicker with a lightened flywheel is when you're engine braking or when you put in the clutch... in either situation the bov would vent the boost anyway...
Also the turbo's don't really make power when they're not under load So it's almost better for the turbo to not have the extra momentum keeping it spinning when there's no reason for it...
Also the lightened flywheel will allow the car to get up to boost rpms a LOT faster...
By losing a percentage of weight on the flywheel you gain a percentage of power that's going to the wheels... with a turbo this is only amplified...
Be careful though my buddy put a too light flywheel in his VW and now it stalls at stops pretty regularly unless he keeps the revs up.
