Yes you can, it's expensive as hell, it's not worth it unless you get a donor car for free, it's a complex swap, it's beyond most guys' abilities, and it's a topic that's been beaten to death with virtually no one who asks ever having completed it.

You can always just buy a B5 S4 with the motor already in the car.

And it's actually a bi-turbo, not twin turbo.

Swaps from non performance to performance models are very complex, time consuming, and a waste of money.

Its not practical at all. Because in the end you still don't have S4 suspension or brakes... You'll need a different transmission. Wiring harness and ECM, TCM. Getting the ABS to recognize the different engine / trans and code it to work.

I mean I wouldn't do it myself with my abilities, knowledge, and tools... Just buy an S4.
