The S5 ECU won't work with a S4 harness.

You would use the S4 harness and ECU. You would also need to replace the front cover and MOP with ones from a S4 Turbo.

You really need to take your car somewhere where they know what they are doing..or you are just asking for problems. The MOP is the metering oil pump. on S5 cars it is electric, while on S4s it is mechanical. You cant run the MOP with the S4 ECU, so you need to switch it out for a S4 unit. This involves replacing the front cover (most front part of the engine, encases the CAS and MOP)
