The turbo is different, if it\'s still on. I\'d have to look up the specifics though as I don\'t know these by hart.
Also the intercooler on the 200bhp version is slightly larger, but you have to see the two side by side to see the difference.

there\'s actually quite a few differences in the ancilliaries. Easiest is to check a website that has all the technical data

Hi
 If the engine is on it´s own, look at the elbow above the water pump. If it has a cap, it is an S4. If it is a solid black or silver elbow, it is an S5. Look at the air flow meter. Big and chunky=S4. Smaller and round/oval = S5.
Hope this helps. There is another thread with all of the differences. Do a search.
