It can work, but it will need re-wired. Search on here for the wiring diagram if you are really interested, but I dont recommend it. Just clean yours if it is dirty..
Id suggest removing it, going over it with a wire brush and maybe a light sandpaper, then giving it a clearcoat. You can even paint it, like I did

^^^^ dude, everyone knows the s5 afm flows better.
but probobly not enough to go through the trouble, besides once you get to the point where the afm is the biggest restriction its time to go standalone any way.

But REted and the other higher up members mainly agree that the S4 has more flow potential so i would say their collective knowledge is greater than our collective knowledge.

I would guess they used the new s5 meter cause its smaller.... The both provide pretty much the same air flow and do the same thing so why stick with something bigger.

The only advantage I see for the S5 design in a packaging issue, as the S5 AFM uses considerably less space.
