You'll need the s-5 turbo and manifold but you'll have to use the oil return line from the s-4.

same as install of the S4 turbo/manifold, it's better to take out the turbo and manifold as a whole, alot easier for me, then you use 10mm socket i believe and take out the oil lines from the S4 and re-use them, i forgot about the water lines, i think i bent them just a little to get it where i want it, it was prolly bent before because the turbo wasn't in great of a shape to start with.

Don't forget to cap the twin-scroll vac line.

The Twin scroll has a hard line going to the actuator that conrols the valve inside the manifold. You will be removing all of this so follow that hard line up to wher it goes and cap it there.

You can use the S5 oil return but you would need the small pipe that comes from the front cover from the s5 as well. The S4 and S5 have different length oil returns so you have to use all the pieces from one or the other but you cannot mix them.
