First thing that comes to mind is that your car is severley lacking power if you can't go beyond that. First question:
Does it go beyond 5500rpm in any other gear, such as first?
Does it go beyond 5500rpm in any other gear, such as first?

The S5 has aux ports that open around 3800, and I believe there is another thing that opens at 5500. I have a S4 so I'm not sure what its called, but I had been helping Kenteth work on his S5 from time to time and I saw it on his.

Ports do not feel as if they are opening... do they open by exhaust baskpressure in a series 5 or the air pump?.... i feel them open at 6 but never around 3800...
