No, a balanced rotating assembly will put much less strain on the bearings, so it will be a good thing, boosted or not. I have a 9lb flywheel in my boosted car and it really doesn't affect turbo spool as much as people are led to think. I can get on the throttle faster, so the rev range the turbo is effective in comes much quicker.
