Mind explaining what you're trying to do? You could tap the turbo and front cover for -AN fittings if you really wanted to (or find ebay adapter flanges), but there's no reason you should have trouble using an S4 drain line with an S4 (or S5) turbo with an S4 front cover. As long as the drain line matches the front cover, it will work.

If I am not mistaken, S5 oil return line is longer because goes around the OMP.

im using the s4 turbo on a s4 motor and the oil lines are just to short and dont reach and all the turbos ive had have been s4s and they both have the same length and before my rebuild it went on fine just a lil bit of hassel now its just a really big hassle it pulled the threads out on the front cover case because i tried using vice grip pliers to hold it close together big mistake so now i gotta tap and die it and make new threads
