S4 Turbo Vs S5 Turbo
Are the differences between the 2 that much? Say both turbos are boosting 8 psi, how big of a difference would it be. Does one spool quicker etc?
I'm trying to decide which turbo I should replace mine with right now. A S4 or S5, just trying to figure out if the S5 is worth the price....

iv read that getting the S5 turbo upgraded to a hybrid to4 is silly because the internal wastegate is just not good enouf.. ported to hell and beyond and it will creep like crazy still..
when you send in a s4 turbo they add a external wastegate flange with the stage 2 and up... so it all depends on what you want to do.
stock for stock id do the s5 and port it to the max...
I stayed s4 because i plan on sending it in to get upgraded soon anyway.

well the porting thing throws all that i have said out the window...
get a s5 if you have the chance, port the WG. If you dont know why or what makes it better then you need to spend a few days reading on this site. Volumes of info can be found here and its all freeeeeee!

Well I think I'm just gonna go for a cheap S4 one for now and during winter I'll go for a 60-1 hybrid upgrade/rebuild. Right now I can't afford the downtime. My current S4 has a ported wastegate and it boosts to like 4psi tops with TID and the RB without my controller turning it up...
