I've seen in a thread here before where some one made a adapter plate. I'll see what the best option for me is when my FD parts arrive.

S5 lower intake. No spacer.

Material added to lower intake and inner studs moved. Some elongating of holes in upper intake. Grinding under upper intake to clear fuel rail.

No intake port matching. The holes in the upper intake are smaller than the holes in the lower intake.

This was Soul Assassin's intake setup and he made something like 500rwhp with no intake port matching.

I'm just leaving mine and I'll have the outlet on y vmounted intercooler modified (again) to meet the greddy compression tube. Should allow for easier access to spark plugs.

If you want to see how people have modified it, just search for some pictures.
