Now, how much difference it makes is a good question. I've read of people interchanging 6.9 & 7.3 flywheels with no problem, & I'd have to think that the difference in piston assy. weight is greater there than the difference between the 7.3 NA vs. Turbo.
The O'Reilly links are disapointing. Based on the engine code, they claim that both flywheels fit IDI's and Strokes... You might contact Sachs directly, with their part numbers. You might get better info there.

Good luck man!
