turbo question

So ive been searching for the answer for a bit but can't seem to find it soooo i was wondering if you can fit an s4 turbo onto an s5 t2 j spec? Im in the works for buying and before they ship it i want to make sure. And the reason for buying it is its a TD04 hybrid.

Thanks in advance
Izzy

IMO you'd be better off just to get the S5 Turbo.
The S4 STOCK turbo flange is different than the S5 and does not mate to the exhaust manifold.
S5 has a sort of rectangular( almost T4 looking)
the S4 sort of has a corner knocked off of it.

I see. Also i was just informed its just a simple exhaust housing swap to make it work? And my budget is slim and don't want to wait to long as i just finished putting on all the supporting mods on.

If the manifold is going with the turbo, it's a direct swap.

The oil return line may be slightly different though,due to the OMP.
