transplant S4 turbo into S5 chassis

Looks like you got it covered, the only other things I can suggest are:

1. Do you have and S4 TB, with associated linkage to the OMP? S5 TB lacks the linkage mechanism.
2. You didn't say if you have an S4 or S5 radiator. If it's the latter, you may need to get creative with the upper & lower hoses to drop an S4 block in there. Also may have some issues getting the fan shroud to fit right.
3. Oil feed & oil return lines for the turbo - not sure if there are any S4/S5 differences that could impact putting an S5 turbo on an S4 block.

If you're looking for a set of stock S5 injectors, I have a set for sale. PM me if interested, but it looks like you need S4 injectors since you're swapping in the S4 harness & ECU (different connectors).
