Gasket comparison.
Quick request.
If someone could post comparison pics of t3, t4 and S5 turbo inlets, that would help me out a lot.
More than any thing, I want to see a t3 on top of a S5 gasket.
Thanks

I can save you a lot of trouble by already telling you that none of those come close to fitting together. 
Here's an S4 gasket (from Mazdatrix's website):

Well, I think most of us know what the gaskets look like 
I was hoping for the gaskets side by side or stacked, in the same pic. I want to see what the options are for re-drilling the s5 manifold. Worst case, I guess a 1/2 inch adapter plate will have to do the job.

Adapter plate. The issue then is there won't be enough clearance between the turbo and lower intake. So you'll need to make a small angled adapter.
Go to your local turbo supplier, buy one of each standard T3 and T4 gasket, then compare.
