Seems like an H22A for £150, which of course is fine.
I'd take the bhp estimate with a rather large plate of salt though. ;)

It should drop into my 5th gen with not much hassle shouldn't it?

I would imagine so, yeah.
TBH though, I (well Rich) changed so much at once on mine, I couldn't tell you of any obstacles, if that makes sense.

A8 was from 5th gen, so that's a good start, and I imagine with your plans you'll be going standalone ECU anyway?

Yup more then likely as theres no rush in me having to get it sorted, the ad says its a bb4 but do they not come out of 4th gen and come with black rocker covers :?

Yeah, the H22A would have been a black top originally.
