Sad day in the rotor compartment

Sad day in the rotor compartment
I had just adjusted the TPS, and bac valve for a pretty decent idle, and beat a C4 vette yesterday, then.....Today....
Ok well, I was coming home from work and I started the car, and it was idleing very bad at start up fluctuating from 1300-1800rpms, tapped the gas to hit 2000 and stayed there til it was warming up and came down. Drove probaly about 7 miles and.....
Then I was trying to make a pass, I was going slow in 3rd about 2000rpms, while still rolling slower. Shifted to 2nd and reved to no more than 3k and shifted to 3rd and heard a pop/bang as I got back on the gas and it was jerking REAL BAD!!! I though the car was going to fall apart. It would barely accelerate (felt like a dead clutch, jerking) So I drove it like that for maybe a 1/4 of a mile and then I was about to pull it over safely and the car immediatly died.......
Got it towed back to my house (yeah less than 2miles away...almost there!) and I check the compression... 85 psi in the front............0 psi in the rear
Now I have a dilemma, Since its a S4 TII, I wouldn't mind droping a S5 Jspec TII drivetrain, ecu and harness. For a couple of reasons, dual TPS, elctric OMP, better turbo, higher compression rotors. Draw back, unknown compression, and turbo conditon. Plus I am sure my turbo is probably damaged, so that would need to be rebuilt as well. Really the ONLY beneifit I can see from a rebuild is that is has zero miles.

No compassion! You guys are cold! j/k
I have been doing some reading, well its hard searching when you cannot use TWO LETTERS!!! I cannot really fine anything about swapping a comlete S5 long block, ecu, wiring harness, maf into a S4.
I am sure it is possible but am I missing anything? Anyone know any links or people that have done the swap? I know there has to be a few people here.

dude, sorry to hear about your motor. Atleast you've got a good outlook on things, meaning what motor you want to swap ect...

PS- The electric MOP is NOT better than the mechanical one. Limp Mode anyone?
