This info is in the FAQ. Generally speaking, cross-series swaps are a major pain in the butt. You need all the S5 wiring for the engine, S5 ECU and related, and you will have to significantly modify much of the other wiring to accomidate the changes. Much easier just to run the S5 engine on the S4 turbo electronics (swap on S4 TPS).
