You keep saying you just keep the upper half, by this I'm assuming you're talking about the UIM, plenum, and TB. This is incorrect, you retain the ENTIRE S5 intake. I'm not saying anyone was wrong but no one was entirely right.

...94% correct.
dude...you can't just sawp the ECU...in order to do that you'd have to swap the entire dash, then half the wiring going to the rear of the car. "New Flash: S4/S5 ECU's NOT INTERCHANGABLE!"

The "keg" is just a term I use for the motor itself without attachments. If you look at it, it kinda looks like a keg with an oil pan attached... Maybe I just associate too many things with alcohol...
Anyways, I was going to do a big writeup for Icemark's FAQ section on S4/S5 interchangeability, being as I am a veteran of that swap. But I havent really gotten around to it. Between work and getting my car ready for Sevenstock, I just dont have time.
I WISH the ecus were interchangeable, that would be one less thing to worry about.

Thanks for all the info.
The reason that I thought that the Block/keg would fit fine is because I know that there's been a few here that have changed over from the regular intake to the VDI on an s4. So I figured, why the **** not a S4 into the S5?
Either way, you guys should see her.
The body is clean, no dents or rust. The interior is near perfect no ripped seats or broken dash parts. So I'm so ******* psyched!
Anyway, I'm trying to find a pagte that talked about the vdi conversion, but can't seem to locate it.
As for the concept of searching the forum. Well, I usually do a lot of search when that fits my mood and style.
Other than that, **** search. This is a forum and I like to discuss things sometimes.
Thanks again.
