Stock they have both. The starter engages the flywheel and the convertor bolts to the flex plate. The aftermarket units replace both with a billet flywheel, which the started engages with and the converter bolts to.

Yep so the flex plate is broken.......in 3 different places. It broke one of the converter bolts off too. I got a flex plate and I am putting it back together tomorrow.
Make sure you replace the 8 14mm hex bolts you can not reuse them and here is the tq specs for them.
Flywheel Bolt - Angular Tightening Method
1st Step 58 lb ft
2nd Step 60 degrees
3rd Step 60 degrees
Makes it nice having some around to be safe better then breaking one off in the back of the crank:hug:
Well its done, what a PITA tightening the flywheel bolts!!!! I swapped my 1057 for a new 1056 hope it spools the turbo harder at the line for pulling. I gotta drive it some more but it seems lot different than the 57 it could be me but it seems like I lost some go????
