S5 Turbo unit
I have a S4 13BT and want to upgrade the Turbo to a S5 unit.
What other parts will I need to make the S5 unit go on my engine i.e S5 exhaust manifold, S5 oil lines, S5 front cover ???
Cheers

s5 turbos are slightly better at controlling boost. You can do a bit more for modding without having the turbo creep to 15 psi.
Thats it really. You will still benefit greatly by porting an s5 turbo so I suggest you do so with your mods.
If its power you are looking for then its power you will lose by having less boost with an s5 turbo.

Same here i have an s5 ported and i get max 10psi and thats if i really try. If i start from a stop and just floor it at redline i only get 6psi, so so far its better compared to my old setup in which i was hitting 15psi ( which is very bad!! )
You say this like its bad, keep in mind these turbos are not ment for 15psi worth of boost or anywhere near it. In my opniion its good for the turbo to boost low that way you have more control and less likely hood of detonation. Its just a whole lot safer. You want more boost upgrade the turbo completly IMO.
