Did see a 480 with a T4 engine in out of a S40. Think they had problems at the time with cooling, as there wasn't much space in the engine bay. Think the T5 is a little too big.
You can Supercharge engines, but you have to watch out for your compression ratios, and you also have to upgrade valves, stems, pistons, flywheel and cams I think, (£££££'s). IMO not worth it on the 2.0ltr engine - it's not that good. I'd look into a T4 transplant, with upgraded gearbox, suspension and brakes to match. It's gonna be expensive either way though.
