No. Larger ports on the S5 (NA) and changes to the front iron for the new front cover o-ring setup on S5s.

the middle iron also has an EGR passage on it (n/a), could be blocked off to use use in an S5 i assume though. i don't see why they couldn't be used in an S5 motor really. i have used S5 rotors and rotor housings with all other S4 components.

Has direct comparisons of all the stock ports:

Notice how much larger the secondaries are on the 6 port compared to the 4 port. And the fact that they have a much longer duration...

I have a feeling that you are right, when I look at the irons from all the pictures that I have seen there does not seem to be a difference. Also I read a writeup about a guy using an S5 intake, he didn't mention anything about port matching for his S4 block. Im gonna do some more research...

Well that's disturbing...

To the original poster, what more do you need to know? Your question has been answered.
