What is the car used for? Is it a daily driver, just a bit of weekend fun, or for the track?
A cheap upgrade would be to replace the H22a5's M2V5 gearbox as it has a the longer 4.062 final drive. Swapping to a gearbox that has the 4.266 final drive will yield greater acceleration. An M2P4 or U2Q7 would be better still as they have shorter ratio's in 2nd and 3rd.

Do you have a tunable ECU?
Also, most importantly, what is your budget?

(Someone should be along in a minute to say what the effect is on the ECU ...)

I've never priced up a swap like this, even though I quite fancy it, but I've seen decent A7 engines from around £700.
As to the A5 vs. A7 thing, I generally argue that our A7 ATR will see off our A5 Prelude on a track, but that the Lude is at least as handy in the real world. I've never driven a 5G Lude with an A8, so can't compare, but I wouldn't knock the A5: it's served us well over the last 3 years.

Don't discount the A8 + M2P4 box, though.
