I know of a seized motor S4 TII in some guys yard local to me. Are there any things on it that would be of benefit on my S5?

The S5 intercooler is slightly more efficient... And if it's a whole car, the front lower control arms from the S4 are better, because they have replaceable balljoints...

Good call on that one. I think Im going to offer the guy like $500 and see what he says. The battery effed up and sprayed acid all over the fuse box and fried the harness, he left it sitting after that.

The diff is slightly different. S4 clutch pack style is rebuildable and takes more HP than the S5.

You could grab all the S4 wiring, swap the front covers, and run S4 engine control with an Rtek v2.0
