S4 vs. S5... how to tell?
I wanna know how can you tell the difference between a JDM S4 and S5 engine? What to look for? All I know is some internal difference like the turbo's dual flapper door... but without taking anything apart, how can I tell?

Thanks

The S5 turbos have a T in the metal waste gate line for the boost control bleed solenoid.
