    After doing some digging on the site, I was not able to find an answer I was looking for. Are they worth doing without many mods or is it something that should wait until the motor is built up more? Figured it would be something quick and easy while I am still researching for the future build on my WRX. Any thoughts?

    I think the discussion will endless on this topic. Me IMO I believe they are not worth it. I dont see it being a big power adding mod. It gave my 2.5 SOHC Turbo built motor some troubles with staying able to idle when I had it installed.

    But if you dont need one I have Unorthdox Racing one I can sell.

    They arent worth it, and most of them chew up belts left and right.

    Thanks for the offer. But if it will cause idle problems, I guess I will skip it and save that cash towards my build next year. Thanks for the info guys. Mods please delete.

    A light weight flywheel is FAR more gratifying
