s5 turbo on an s4 t2

Excuse me, because I know this has been brought up before and I cannot find it in the FAQ's. But, is it possible to swap turbo's around? What else would need to be done besides the changing the manifold?

I have been on the forum before ~4 years ago, and I am just now getting back into the game. So I am a little rusty to say the least.

You need to swap the turbo, manifold and oil/water lines. I think a few of the lines might be the same but I don't quite remember which.

You just need the S5 turbo and manifold. The water/oil lines will stay S4. If you can find an S5 heatshield, grab that, since the S4 one will no longer fit. I modified part of an S4 heatshield to cover most of the turbine housing.
