S4 to S5 power steering rack differences?

Did Mazda change the power steering racks between the S4 ad S5? I have and S4 and need a new rack and the only one close to me is an S5.

S4's only used two types of steering rack. The vehicle speed sensing steering rack (3 lines attached to PS pump) or manual.

S5's had Vehicle Speed sensing racks and also engine speed sensing (2 lines at the PS pump). You will have to find the right one and swap in.
