if they are stock motors one would be the mechanical linkage to the throttle body for the OMP, s4 has mechanical and s5 is electric, another easy one is a plastic thermostat housing on a s5 versus a aluminum one on a s4. There are aftermarket housings sold but if the motor is stock thats a quick easy thing to check.



s4 8 blade fan, s5 10 blade fan.



those aare 3 quickies you can easily see.

On S4, there will be a boss on the center iron near the oil filler neck, facing forward, thats tapped for the knock sensor.
