S5 UIM swap clarification
ive been doing some research about the swap and i think i still need some help. I was wondering what i excatly i have to do ... cause i have someone about to sell me the upper and lower mani's with a ported tb ... so would i just use the upper and tb (assuming the dynamic is connected) and justfind the rest of the stuff, like the fuel rails, BAC, solenoid?
i heard icemark saying something about port matching the UIM to the LIM?
is there another write-up besides the one at
http://homepage.mac.com/carldavis/intake.html
its a good write-up but its main goal was to keep the car as stock as possible... and im already starting out with a streetport/intake/exhaust
Thanx

I've found the the S5 lowers are usually gasket matched extremely well for a stock part...
the uppers, however... dunno why, but they are usually pretty off, but nothing is as bad as the FD uppers.. JEZUS, you should see the pile of chips after I get done gasket matching an FD upper...

Unless you are removing your MOP and going pre-mix, you do not want to use the S5 throttle body, but rather modify the S4 throttle body to work.
As far as the port matching, yes you want to port match the UIM to the LIM

The s5 has the electronic OMP, whereas the s4 is driven by the throttle position, mechanically via a linkage. The s5 throttle body doesn't have a provision for this linkage.

Also.. if you remove the MOP on an S5, the ECU will go into LIMP mode..

also whats the process in port matching?
sorry about all the questions but someone i know is trying to get rid of the parts for this swap (i dont know what he has, he said UIM,TP,LIM but doesnt know about the rest) so im just trying to understand what exactly i need to do before i buy it from him.
