1. Not interchangable s4= 2bolt s5= 3 bolt
2. You won't find one at a parts store.
3. There are one or two people that make metal ones for around $100, with one of them having a recent thread on this forum. They aren't complete yet but they are probably your best bet.

you could probably put a s4 water pump housing and water pump which would get you the metal housing

They are not interchangable between Zenki and Kouki FC's.
The bolt patterns are different - 2-bolt versus 3-bolt.

BTW, turbo versus non-turbo are the same part numbers for the same series.
