I prefer the s4 omp, since it's mechanical over the electrical omp. The downpipes can interchange on either or.

you will need all s5 electronics (n370 ecu, map sensor, afm) and more...

what I would do (and what I'm doing now lol), is just get a haltech. n370 ecu's are hard to come by and will run you $200 or so. the afm another $100, the map sensor $50. the haltech will provide compatibility for most any upgrade you plan to do and is 100% customizable. you dont want to be mixing s4 and s5 parts IMO. used haltechs run about $600-$900

you could also go the rtek route but still need to find a good n370 ecu...plus a couple hundred bucks for the upgrade(which isn't tunable like the haltech)

i have a full haltech setup if you are interested...the harness is mostly terminated, you will need to run about 5 or so wires...i can help you with it...
