Question flywheels

I just purchased an XACT prolight flywheel, and counterweight for my s5 turbo, and I was wondering if anybody knows if there is a certain way or position to put the counterweight on, or do i just slap it in and screw the bolts in?

I would think there is a certain way to do it. Because the way I observe it is that it literally counters the rotation of the rotors so it would have to be at the opposite side of them while rotating. Just mho

It will only go on one way...

Look at the key.. it's not hard to see which way it will line up after you do that..

The flywheel to counterweight position is not relevent, being that the flywheel is balanced all the way around. When you bolt down the counterweight, it'll slide down on the e-shaft taper and over the key, making it only fit one way.
