I thought the short answer was: yes
Long answer is... you need alot of money... and personaly I think the motor is garbage anyways (not really but it has more problems than it's worth)... and don't keep the twins... better money spent is a 20b bridgeported

s4 engines have lower compression and heavier rotors and the TWINSCROLL turbos are on them read the FAQ it has **** loads of intel...the S5 has highercompression and the turbo is a TAD bit more efficient....the 13BRE is the bad *** engine or the 20b if u have money....20b still take some work though.....some people say ditch the stock twins i hear some people say stock twins rock the house....well blah read the FAQ u will have more informaitons!

You really need to ask less questions and read more.
Start with the stickies and pay particular attention to the one labeled FAQ for FC.
Then do efficient searches to get the rest of your answers.
