My ongoing project car

The ports are shiny, the rotors look to be ok (you will need to check clearance to be sure).

I don't like the shape of that port. This design is giving up significant low end without making any improvements in the high end because that port has about a 15 degree later port close, but it is at such an awkward angle that it will not help chamber charging at high speeds.

For what it is worth, I made 138 WHp on a bone-stock s4 6-port block, factory ECU, modified AFM (lean the mix up a little) and stock exhaust. Stock intake manifold too. This doesn't bode well for the porting on your engine that made 14 Hp more stock than mine. (What I am thinking is that the port design is actually hurting your power.)

If I were you, I would start with a new stock center plate and port it yourself.

Otherwise, it looks like you got an excellent starting point.
