Yes, but the trim molded into the '89 S5 bumper is different from your '87 S4.

The trim is molded into the bumper, so it will require some work to "pull" it.

Speedometer cables are cheap at Mazda.

google image it to tell the difference but the body molding about half way up the car is smoother and is not have that split/ridge in the middle like the s4 and as for the difference between turbo and non turbo is just the lip thats bolted to it i think s5's look more rounded and sleek
