Sorry to hear this Xristos, how did it happen so we can make sure it doesn't happen to us?

As Mikey rightly says they are v. different
This document explains every difference over the S4

I have always wondered how many RS4s have S4 blocks/heads nowadays

Xristos, if you did fit an S4 engine, you could easily get it remapped to 400bhp with your RS4 parts.

Were your turbos undamaged?
