What kinda turbo do i have?

What do the s4's and the s5's have with regards to turbos? Like brand/model/trim information? Perhaps some cfm specs?
Thanks

really... anyone have any more info on this? i'd like to know. good for comparison reasons.

BTW, i am pretty sure the stock a/r on the turboII turbos is a 1.00 hotside and a .55 (not sure) compressor.

All I know is the S5 has a way bigger wastegate. Other then I got no idea.

I am also curious as to any other differences.

They are the same turbos, but the s5 has a better hotside design with a dual wg hole design and better flow. It also mounts differently and the manifold is divided without the twinscroll. Are those .55 and 1.00 a/r ratios really right? That seems pretty large.

i know the hotside is rediculously large and its around 1.00

not sure about the .55 like i said for the compressor side, its probably something smaller like in the .40's or high .30's hell i dont know. all i know is the hotside is way big.

you can exchange just the hotside of the s5 turbo and the s5 manifold. But the manifolds are different between series. The s5 one is better for flow.
