Hi,
I tried to find this reference again but Im afraid had no luck. Somewhere on one of the remapping forums someone had remapped a 3 cylinder and used a flywheel for a 4 cyclinder. I think because they needed an uprated clutch setup. It worked for a time but then destroyed something. I think the crankshaft or crankshaft bearings or balance shaft gave up.
Theres a discussion on balancing a flywheel using a tire balancing machine to measure the imbalance on the original and then drilling out material on the new to match the imbalance, here https://forums.tdiclub.com/index.php?threads/1-4-tdi-tuning-info.217983/page-10
These guys are running silly horsepower but
