Help with flywheel purchase.

I am wanting to buy a lightened flywheel but noticing so many different ones. Some to be used with turbo and then non turbo. I don't have turbo yet but do plan on getting it in the near future. Can someone recommend me a good one that I can use now and also will be compatible with turbo if such a thing exists. Also the counterweight that needs to be purchased with it. Thanks in advance.

Alot of owners say you don't need the light fly when you are turbo as it is over kill and you have plenty of torque.

Act Prolite is good.

Is this the flywheel yal are talking about also is the combined weight of the flywheel and counterweight 9.8lbs or is that just the weight of the flywheel? http://www.racinglab.com/act-prolite...mazda-005.html
