As far as I know all the S5 counterweights are the same, regardless if it was NA or TII. Other's feel free to chime in on this.

By the looks of it, you will be not going to the dark side.
Congrats on a wise choice.

I was asking the same question in the general 2nd gen forum. Is the difference in weight between a stock N/A and TII flywheel of the same year, only due to the size difference? Why are the front counterweights different between the N/A and TII? Why is there a counterweight on the flywheel?

They're not, they're only different from one generation to the next. There used to be an S5 AT/MT difference but I think eventually one part number superseded the other.

The counterweight on the flyweel counterbalances the e-shaft eccentricity and partial rotor weight, while the front counterweight does the same thing to the front rotor and e-shaft.

I let the pooch out for a last pee at 11:00 but I guess the wind scared him back in and I didn't realize he was still loaded. He jumped on me at 2:30 AM because he wanted to be let out. I figured, crap....since I'm up I might as well get some work done so I hopped on the computer. 4:06 AM was my first break....LOL.....
