04 or 05?

Iv been searching for awhile and I cant find a complete list of the Mechanical differences from the 04 to 05.

I wanted an 05 or 06 but found a really good deal on an 04 and would like to make sure its still an equal capable car and if the differences are easily changed.

(If I did miss the topic on this already I apologize because I have looked so instead of saying use the search. Be so kind as to link the thread in here. Thanks.)

The biggest difference is the 04 has a smaller hotside on the turbo and there is no acd.

actually late 04s had a 10.5 hotside but I remember what the built dates were, chances are though it has 9.8 and the 04s dont have a front LSD unless its a RS.

So the 04 doesnt have a front LSD? What kinda diff is it then? seems like kinda a big deal.

Or is it replaceable for fairly cheap?

Ya its a important part, the 04 RS has one just not the GSR. No its not cheap to change.
