Assuming your exhaust is not clogged, you probably have a bad turbo.
Pull the TID and then try to turn the compressor wheel with your fingers, as well as push it back and forth. If it's hard to turn and you get a lot of side to side and front to back play, the turbo is hosed.

So the turbo doesn't move at all? That sucks...It's going to need to be rebuilt or replaced.
Because it's a used engine you have really know way of knowing how it was abused in the past. If it's J-spec, it could have been sitting for years.
Don't downgrade the S5 with an S4 turbo. If you do, you loose about 20HP and need to replace the manifold and oil feed line as well.
