What about an A5 swap to an A2? Isn't the the A5 a "higher" engine? Cause my EX has an A2...

If you are looking for power, then you went with the wrong car.

Unless you are ready to spend a lot of money, then nothing else is going to add power like a engine swap, or turbo. hen when you do that, upgrading your ECU and what not will come in handy. But not with the stock engine.
