I do have pictures there is a lot of Porting to to be done to directly match the S5 lim to fd with out an adator plate. The thing with the s4 is not the runners so much as it is with the mounting points when I get on my comp I'll post pix and info an adaptor is absolutely nessisary so is hole enlongation on the fd uim holes you will also have to do some thing with the mechanical Omp
so where are the pictures?
I would really rather not take the time to make my own if I don't have to.

now do your bolts go through all three pieces or did you have to put studs in the spacer?

I'm not thinking from a stock ECU standpoint, as much as I'm thinking from an Rtek standpoint, which has the simplicity of a non-labor intensive install, no re-wiring, uses stock sensors, full timing and fuel control, but is still limited in ways that the stock ECU is, such as TPS wiring.
I was thinking that, but was hoping someone could confirm that it was, indeed, the case.

I would just make the fc tps work on the FD throttle body.
By that I mean physically mount it to the throttle body replacing the FD TPS
-also if the top end value and bottom end resistance values match that is good but you need to make sure they are both non-linear or linear. And if they are non linear, you need to make sure they follow the same non-linearity.

in fact i still have full blueprints and the cad files for the s5->fd AND s4->FD adapters. They're in the seat pocket of my FD
Only thing we never got to was triming the block to a curvy shape, in it's block shape it's easier to ensure a good seal, i prefer function to looks but whatever. if we did trim it to a curvy shape it still would've had proper seal space, stock amount of lip.
anyone wants to pay for raw materials i can probably get my friends to throw it thru the CNC again. Hell if they had access to a more advanced CNC machine i wouldnt have had to port it by hand at all.
on my s5 i didnt modify the UIM OR LIM...as far as i know jwteknix didnt port his s4 UIM OR LIM either...the design of the adapter made it unnecessary.
the problem with swapping mani's to dyno test is youd have to re-rewire your tps and other stupid small things, if i had a personal dyno id do it. Also dont forget you'll need to shorten you oil fill tube or buy the lower half of the FD tube. (if you can cut and weld you'll figure out a quick way to mod it as i did)
