compression test. did you get a warranty on it? its hard to say what the kids did to it over there. rebuilds are reccomened. give you room to port and polish

Hope you are good at wiring and soldering..... The S5 and S4 harnesses are pretty different, as well as the ECU..... Good luck with that swap. It has been done but it isn't a peice of cake like a S4 to S4 swap.
