I really think this is extreme and a waste of money.
13B-REW is running 9.0:1 rotors.
The non-turbo S5 13B already runs higher compression rotors.

If you're going to strip the intake manifolds anyways, get ITB's and savor your top end performance.

The reason for this is that the rew has some updated stuff, like the TPS, the coil packs are "neat" unlike the FC, it doesnt have the stupid ugly CAS, it's got multi-rib belts instead of the annoying v belts, and it's just a nicer engine all together.

I don't know why you're arguing stock EFI components when you've already mentioned aftermarket EMS?
That doesn't make any sense.
If you're going to this extreme, most people would opt for almost everything aftermarket anyways - arguing stock parts is a waste of time.

I don't get the hate for the ignition triggers either...
The stock FC CAS is superior, IMNSHO, than the FD igniton trigger wheel.
Both do the same thing, and outside of the physical appearance, both output basically the same signal.
I've seen FD mag pick-up's FAIL; I've never seen an FC CAS fail yet.
The FC CAS is superior cause it's enclosed - no worried about crap being throw at it, as exposed mag pick-up's are susceptible to debris and damage.
(Racers who have run the Electromotive set-up have already proven this.)
So it just sounds like you just don't like the way it "looks"...

Same goes with the belts...

The biggest reason however is that the REW is a 4 port and has bigger intake runners stock than an S5 TII, so you could do quite a nice steet port and be done.

Define "bigger"?
The non-turbo 13B 6-port engines run more duration on it's 6-port intake ports.

another option would be to do what was suggested before: Individual throttle bodies and a standalone.

*confused*
