You really havent followed this thread, and my S-line conversion / new RS6 wheels, at all. Haven't you?

No.

Well, I changed the whole bumper + grille to S-line, and went from 19" original to 20" RS6 rims.No.

Aight, now it's time to start modifying the engine a little bit. You can not do much with the 3.2L FSI, but at least some things.
One of them is this:
http://www.goapr.com/products/intake_carbonio_42fsi_s5.html
The APR Carbonio intake system.
Carbonio's latest carbon fiber intake for the 4.2L FSI V8, 3.2L FSI V6 and 3.0 TDI engine is a ram air design that completely separates the intake filter from the engine bay. Building from years of experience on and off the race track, Carbonio's and APR's engineering teams have spent countless hours developing a true cold air and ram air carbon fiber design that can be recreated affordably for the street performance enthusiast.
For many years professional motorsport organizations have suffered great expense to properly tune the air intake delivery system for use in endurance and sprint races where every last horsepower and pound feet of torque can make the difference in position when crossing the finish line. Historically these designs have proven to be the most efficient and powerful although the most expensive to produce.
Aftermarket performance companies have attempted to capitalize on these designs however the cost restraints have typically resulted in compromise and deviation from the true engineering principles associated with motorsport accomplishment. Don't be fooled by catch phrases and tag lines alluding to a new intake technology or special design characteristic. You won't see any of these gimmicks installed on race cars at the Nurburgring.
Carbonio and APR have gone even further to maintain all oem specifications necessary to integrate cohesively with an otherwise stock engine to avoid raising eyebrows at the dealership. Flexibility was another characteristic of Carbonio's and APR's design whereas the new intake is also suitable for Stage 1 and Stage 2 modified engines all the way up to an APR Stage III Supercharger System in the case of the S5 4.2L FSI V8!
Constructed of aerospace grade carbon fiber and designed to remove intake restriction, APR’s Carbonio intake system provides smoother transitional airflow, increased air velocity, superior insulation of the incoming air to reduce intake air temperatures and a larger volume of available air to aid throttle response.

What performance increase do you expect ?
PS: The car looks much better than before... and I can only tell that after seeing the comparo set of pictures!

Aprrox 13-18-hp. I would get even more, if I had the APR exhaust system. But unfortunately it's impossible to get here in Doha. And I will not have something that probably weight a 100kg, from the US to here. Would cost a fortune...
I want that exhaust so bad though.This is the dyno result on an S5 4.2 V8 FSI with that intake system:
Thanks! Yes, it's like night and day for sure. I hated the front before. Now I love it. Can't understand why Audi put that sh*t on the normal Q5's before. The facelifted non-S-line front is much more agressive, so they fixed that now.

13-18HP is ok but it depends on how much you've paid for it

450 USD, so it's all good!13-18HP is ok but it depends on how much you've paid for it

Alright. Here comes a cool picture. I was experimenting a little bit with the long shuttertime/timevalue on my Canon EOS 5d MarkII. So, in this picture, the shutter was opened for 45 seconds. In that time, I was running around like crazy, with a small flashlight in the hand. The result (no photoshop!):
