Bro, I didnt get your PM.....

Anyway, lightened flywheel will not do much on D-series turbos since the RPM band is pretty narrow, plus the Y8 trannies are short on 1st and 2nd gear. I dont think it is worth it for a couple of torque numbers. As far as clutch, I will never go anything below a stage 3 equivalent on anything boosted. Y8 motors are torque hungry when boosted. I say look into a Competition Clutch systems. If you need help on making a decision, let me know and I can ask one of my dealer buddies for you. How much power/torque are you putting down now bro? As far as LSD, I dont know how much money you want to drop on this. You can never go wrong with Quaife and Kaaz, but they are expensive..... about $850 plus install. Otherwise look into OBX. Some people have had luck with it.... or look into Phantom Grip. Cheap but it will not last long and can jeopardize your gear train.....
