Could i put a S5 hotside on my S4 hybrid?

It has a LARGE compressor housing and stock middle sektion but it has a S4 hotside....i do have a S5 hotside with a maxported wastgate and a portmatched S5 manifold just laying in my garage so can i change the exhaust housing or does it not fit?

I do have the turbine wheel and so on aswell!

As far as I have been told, the compressor side/housing is identical from S4 to S5. This should work fine.

The center section is identical, so yes it will fit.

Don't forget that you will need the S5 Exhaust manifold to match that S5 hotside

The only difference i saw between the s4 and s5 oil lines is the return pipe that runs from the turbo to the front cover.. (the adapter you bolt to the front cover and the turbo oil line). I'm not sure if it will make a difference or not, but i know the s4's are curved and the s5 is a straight pipe.
