Is there any difference between the the S4 & S5 water pump housings besides the water neck???? What about turbo & N/A is there any difference between the two????



Because, I was wondering if a S4 N/A housing would fit on my S5 Turbo engine.???

there are two small differences.



1. the s4 counterwieght is wider, and the front cover is a tad deeper, and thus the water pump housing has a little more clearance to fit.



2. the s5 has a different angle on the lower water hose thingee to clear the metering pump.



its super annoying, because they are really small changes
