?? What Counter weight do I need ??
Ok guys, I have a 1988 S4 T2 Chassis. My (engine/tranny) is an 89 S5 j-spec swap (rebuilt/streetported @banzai-racing.com)

QUESTION= What counterweight do I need! (S4, 86-88) or (S5, 89and up) ??????

I'm buying the xact prolite flywheel and need to know which counterweight to buy.
Thanks,
-Dustin

s5 turbo motor=s5 turbo counter weight(this applies to the rear only of cource)
non turbo is diffrent fyi

front counter weight is under the front cover,i.e. its already on there.

You need a Series 5 turbo counterweight.

The non turbo is not different. Any S5 FC or FD counterweight will work. Front and rear.
