Difference between S4 and S5 Turbo II

How can I identify if I got a s4 turboII or s5 turboII engine? I don't mean if i got s4 or s5 car. (I know- moldings, tail lights, ect.)

I think ibtl is I be the loss? It's a super laim abbreviation, just like ted.

Most abbreviations are retarded, it only takes a couple more seconds to type "I be the loss".... Lazy people. ANYWAYS, back to the purpose of the thread. Turbonut explained everything you need to know. I know theres a sure way of finding out if its an s4 or s5 by counting the fins on the fan, forget what the count was. Think http://www.rotaryresurrection.com/ says it.

IBTL = in before the lock.

as in this thread will be locked because these simple questions are asked a million times and the original poster should search before making threads. it would have been much smarter (and easier) to stick with a s4 swap. now you will either need to get a stand alone or hope to god you know how to read the factory wiring diagrams and enjoy messing with rewiring most of your car.

HAVE FUN

the 2nd link pretty much has no information that hasen't been posted already.

i dont think there is a link that shows all the wiring that needs to be done for the swap.
