I don't know for sure but I get the feeling (sorry folks vague I know!) that as the cranks are different (turbo has the extra gubbins on the front for the chain driven oil pump); that not only is the crankshaft longer (see VT220D's post #10) but perhaps the ends are also of different shape? May be this requires a different "counterweight" - just a feeling...
