I know the 2-port wastegate on the S5 is better than the single port S4. Not sure about the turbine and compressor, although the S5 is the one to have, IIRC. I believe they are interchangeable, so long as you have the corresponding exhaust manifold.

basically they are the same turbo. the change is that the s5 turbo has a divided manifold, and the s4 doesnt. also the wg thing.



the s5 spools up faster so its the one to have
