05 A4 trans has the TCM by the ECM, not in the trans like on the A6.
So no TCM reprogramming will be needed.
As for trans kits, RPM will have all the parts you need.

Just keep in mind that your going to need some special tools to rebuilt the trans.

Did you firmware flash the 2010 TCM with the correct firmware to start with when you dropped it into a 2005 car?

So to get better shifting, need to have the trans after market tuned instead.
As for better, will improve the shifts to make them faster/firmer, but will never get the A6 trans to downshift as fast as a sequential transmission instead.

There where hardware and software upgrade in the 2012 A6 to get to the trans to shift better/faster, but you can't flash that newer firmware into older TCM/transmission control module in older C6's.
