how is everyone modifying the greddy compression tube? (to make it not point towards the alternator)

did you cut it at the flange? any pictures?


I also cut a wedge out of the back and welded it back together.

So, I've wondered through this thread enough to want to do it to my FC... Thing is, im not seeing anything on doing this for an N/A S5... is it possible, or worth doing???

That is because your car is an S5 N/A..
Turbo the engine or get a TII engine then you can do this too!

This would make an N/A much slower... there is a lot of intake tuning in the stock N/A manifold, especially the S5 one.

Has Anyone tried using the OEM S6 BAC valve and TPS wired to the Factory S5 ECU, I am contemplating trying it out from what I can tell from the Service Manuals they should read the same and function the same but not entirely convinced.
Not sure if Rtek or Standalone (again) is the way to go on this project.

whats the purpose of doing any of this if you have no way to tune for increased air flow?
I would leave well enough alone until you are ready to go forward with a way to tune the car.

This will be the second time I do this mod but the first time I am considering not using Haltech.
Rtek uses the OEM ECU but allows for timing and fuel adjustments, not as powerful as haltech but much less headache.

So In short I am not considering doing this with a stock ECU, either an Rtek 2.0 or another stand alone.

Well, thats the one good thing about the old Bosch L-Jetronic based air flow meter engine management.

Since it actually directly measures airflow it is more tolerant to changes that will affect system volumetric efficiency changes.

IMO its only really when you get into shorty custom intake manifolds where the metered fuel getting injected wets the walls instead of entering the engine due to poor intake design and lower velocity/more reversion that you get into trouble with AFM systems.

Or when you exceed the measuring limits of the stock system (airflow or boost pressure) - which is going to be about what the stock injectors can handle.
