not 100% on the S5 but on the S4 the turbo and non turbo radiators are the same. I threw in one out of an 87 gxl, went back to the clutch fan and shroud, and modified the belly pan to fit. This combo was good for cooling even on the last 100 degree day i drove on. Just make sure your coolant system is flushed and in good shape. If you want to upgrade and not have to worry i'd go with the K2rd radiator. This will by my next upgrade and i will try the electric fan again.

All the radiators are the same, good upgrade is the k2rd unit, click the nopistons.com store banner up top. I have it, works great!

The K2RD and Fluidyne are awesome. If you don't have that much, get a Koyo aluminum, also good... around $350 at Sportcarmotion

If your coolant system is in decent shape, save yourself the hassle and expense of a new radiator and switch to EVANS NPG+ Coolant.
