Which clutch/pressure plate to use?

Ok so I've got an '87 Base, and I'm slowly doing a TurboII suspension/brakes/etc swap into the car.

However, the car's got a worn out clutch/pressure plate (one of the two is worn out, or both, the clutch pedal is real soft & easy to push so I'm guessing the PP)... anyhow...

I've got a TurboII donor car with a good aftermarket clutch/pressure plate, and am going to be swapping these parts over eventually anyhow.

My question is this.... if I have the following setup, which clutch/pressure plate would I use?

S4 N/A motor/flywheel
S4 TurboII Transmission

I know it's an odd combination, but "just answer the fookin' quesiton" (random Braveheart quote).

anyone know if the flywheel will be ok then? Or what flywheel/clutch/pressure plate do I use? Will the TurboII pressure plate bolt up to the N/A flywheel ok?

You need to use whatever combo PP/disc/FW that matches up to whatever transmission you are using.

um... that's the thing, the flywheel goes to the engine and is counterbalanced for the engine, not the transmission.

You need to use whatever series flywheel, for whatever model trans you are using. For example, if using a turbo trans and S4 rotors, youll need a S4 Turbo flywheel. If you were to use a turbo trans and S5 rotors, youll need a S5 turbo/FD flywheel. If using an N/A transmission, you will need a N/A flywheel for the corresponing rotors.
