N/a turbo
see i wasnt sure about the plug dif... i dont know much about s5 since i own a s4 so im limited to knowing what next to do...sorry.. do you already have the resistors??

How are you going to use a RTEK in a S5 car? Last I checked, there's no S5 version available. So, you'll need to hack apart your dash harness and install a S4 plug, then use a S4 TII engine harness, a knock box, and swap in S4 electronics (afm, pressure sensor, etc).

S5 harness are the same for N/A and T2 ECU. The only difference is one pin (if I remember right 2G). The N/A has a conector to the VDI while the t2 has it going to the knock sensor.
As for running the car on a N/A ECU..... you will have to retard the timing since the N/A ECU doesn't read boost. This will only be a temporary solution. If you don't do this, once you get passed 2-4 PSI, your car will detonate. Also if you retard timing, your idle will not be smooth.

If you did daily, I would say you were lucky! I wouldn't take that chance. At 10 PSI, I would have it retarded by about 17 degrees.

should i still run the 720's, turbo 2 ecu, AFM, and pressure sensor just no rtek. i feel i should? what do you think SonicRaT u seem to be very knowledgeable. would i be better of in this set over the N/a ecu

Yep, run the TII electronics with the SAFC (and the 720s), and you'll be in good shape. You can reuse your S5 N/a engine harness, so you just need the electronics (ecu, afm, pressure sensor). You will need a FCD if you use a TII ECU, so keep that in mind.
i have the FCD in my room all i need is the AFM,ECU, sensor. i responed to a couple people on this fourm i have heard no response. so hopefully soon i will have all the parts installed. big thanks to sonicrat for all the info

There is no RTek for the S5.

i started the car with the turbo electronics and it ran like ****, i put the N/A Ecu in and it ran great. so does that mean the ECU i recived is bad? is there a way to check? i would still like to run an turbo 2 ecu.
