Its a stand alone computer. You would need to wire it in to your car, and then tune your car. If you have never tuned its a good way to blow your motor. So if you do be careful or have a pro tuner do it.
If you do get it, find the stock S5 Turbo map and use that to start. Even if the previous car it was on was an S5 Turbo you don't know what other mods he had.

In the USA, it usually costs about $500-1,000 USD for installation and basic tuning, while dyno and track tuning increase the cost. Tuning and installation should be less expensive in Australia.
