s5 turbo will not fit on your s4 manifold, just like the s4 turbo won't fit on a s5 manifold.


The s5 wastegate is twice the size as it actually has dual wastegates.

The S5 turbo and manifold are an improvement over the S4. Go ahead and do the swap if it doesn't cost much.

S5 turbo.mani fit fine on the S4, just be sure to get the oil lines. And yes, the wastegate is alot better on the S5 mani, and also the S5 turbo does not have the twin scroll. Get a S5 Turbo/mani, port the hell outta the wastegate, and then get a MBC. That should work good.
