s5 to s4...gains? or loses?

i recently blew my s5 t2 motor...i found a clip with 37,000 original miles on it, so im getting it, i know s5 t2 came with more stock horsepower/torque, and i know all the t2 stuff is interchangable, but is it really worth it to put my s5 intake manifolds, injectors, turbo manifold and stock s5 turbo on the s4 motor? the only other thing that was done to the car was a Blitz DD BOV and a Microtech LT8 because it was going to be getting built but they guy ran out of funds...so is it worth the time to put the s5 manifolds and ish on?

In itself, no. But considering that most any used motor is going to need gaskets and vacuum hoses replaced. I'd do it while I had it all apart.

The injecctors, tps, omp, etc. are wired different between series, so you'll probably find it necessary to retain all your chassis' original parts that the wiring matches. No use in reworking a perfectly good harness, so just swap your parts over.
