question about flywheels

I spend my time in the first gen section but this question is FC related. I'm replacing my flywheel for the upcomming race season and was going to purchase a ACT flywheel. I'm installing a S4 N/A transmission and on the ACT web site it lists the flywheels being the same for turbo and non turbo engines. Yes i do have a counter weight on the back of my peripheral port 13b it is just that my current flywheel is worn out. I have checked other sites that sell flywheels and they list different flywheels for turbo and non turbo engines. I was hoping that some of you may be able to help me. Thanks.

I thought that ACT only made flywheels for the TurboII FC?

Why aren't you buying a flywheel from Mazda Motorsports Development?

IIRC, only flywheels that ACT makes are for turbo FC's.

that was fast.


Quick noob question. When buying a lighter flywheel can you use the stock counter weight or do you have to buy a corresponding counter weight?
