Pic Request: S4 vs. S5 comparison

So I've got what I believe to be a s4 turbo rear iron. I need to know if there is a difference between the s4 and s5 WATER TEMP GUAGE SENSOR. I've bought a replacement sensor from what I thought was a different s4 turbo rear iron, and it doesn't fit! The threads are different sizes.... so can someone show me a side to side comparison of sensors from both series? Thanks ahead of time!

there is a diffrance, but you probably wouldn't motice it, i am using an s5 na water temp sensor in an s4 turbo motor, i am not sure how off the readings are, my gauge only goes up the first part of the scale, instead of 1/4, but when i get on it, and it warms up a bit, it goes up to 1/4, then drops back down, so 1/4 to me is a little hot.
