ive done this, wasnt fun. we used the s5 ecu harness and intake. Its ran like crap and we used the mechanical omp and just plugged the electronic one into the harness and stuffed to the side in the engine bay or else it would go into limp mode... i know, it was haggard. the best way to go in my head is to use the s5 harness and ecu and get a safc to tune for the lower compression, i have a sneaking suspicion thats why it ran the way it did.
