well if you don't want to spend a ton of money you can just buy a 89-91 turbo and a FCD. That will not be expensive and with a downpipe and exhaust upgrade you will like the results.

 

You can go with a bnr upgraded turbo for around 800 I think plus shipping and core, you could get a greddy turbo upgrade kit for 2500, or just rebuild yours for 300 or so plus shipping if it applies> Are you still using the stock TMIC setup or do you have a fmic?? because if your running the TMIC you may not want to upgrade until you get rid of that inter heater. If you just need a stock turbo till you have the cash to upgrade the turbo, fmic and dp(or modify yours) I have a spare s4 lying around for 100 bucks

 

bigturbo i would not recommend anything you just said without going to a $1500-2000 standalone ems system. Once you start talking about that stuff you are looking to spend 5-8k. Look at my sig and ask me how I know.

 

s5 turbo will bolt up with out any changes to the s4 manifold? im assuming so but just whanted to know.

 

yeah thats true bukwild. You will need the supporting mods thats for sure. I always assume that everyone already knows that. You need a fmic, injectors, pump, and a stand alone would be best unless you go with a stage 1 or 2 you may not need the stand alone but will def still need the rest. Potolessuk no you cannot bolt a s5 turbo to a s4 manifold. You can bolt the s5 turbo and s5 manifold to your block but thats it. The s4 utilized a twin scroll setup(actuator and flapper) that the s5 doesnt thereoff the manifolds are different. The s5 is a little bigger from what I hear and has a little more to end but the twin scroll spools quicker. Thats why i recomend you use a stock turbo till you save up all the cash to get all the supporting mods for a bnr, greddy, hks or t04 setup. Got one for 100 bucks
