swapping s4 turbo for s5

Wondering if anybody has swapped there s4 turbo and manifold for an s5 because of the larger wastegate diameter? I'm considering doing this and i just wanted to hear if there are any pros and cons besides the larger wastegate? Are there any tricky procedures or custom fabrications that i will run into when doing this?

as far as i have researched you will need,
S5 - Manifold, Turbo, coolent line, oil lines

or you could custom fabricate those oil and coolent lines so they will fit.

hope that helps a bit,

Just swap the S4 oil return line onto your S5 turbo, and everything should drop in.
You don't need to custom anything...
