Yes and no. The compressor is the same (K26) but the turbine went from a size 6 to size 8.

A tiny bit more lag but greater power overall. It will be very noticeable to the seat of the pants.

search for the thread showing the visual difference between the S and non-S turbo and make sure you actually have one.

Shouldn't the downpipe be different, as well?
