The turbo would work fine, the IC piping would not match and might possibly need changed.

Personally, these "kits" are overpriced. The ability to create a custom setup has the most advantage by function as well as cost.

oi.. thats alot of $$

the manifold and turbo should fit but i dont think the pipeing will.

it would be alot cheaper to get an S5 manifold and then a new turbo.
