S5 wastegate into S4 car?

So, the plans for the TII swap are being finalized.
The problem is that S5 TII parts are BITCHES to find. However, I want the superior wastegate setup found on the S5 cars. Has anybody switched over, or would I have to change the whole manifold/turbo/wgate setup?

Thanks.

the FC turbos have internal wastegates, youd have to swap the whole turbo and manifold.

Can you (safely) unbolt the housing for porting the wastegate and then bolt it back on without the requirement to change any seals?
