I think you need to think this all through a bit more before jumping into it. First off, 500-600hp is not a so easily reached goal. It will be a lot of work and a lot of money if you do it right. I'm sure you can reach that goal with a lot less than I spent on mine, but the question will be how long until your weakest link breaks. Hence why I did mine right and did everything and anything I needed to. If you are wanting a list separated with "must need" and "will help later on" items, then you will not be reaching your 500-600hp goal anytime soon... Take a look into my build thread and check out the first post with my list. That list is going to be about a 400-450hp build with my 18g. If I swap out the turbo for a bigger one and change a few other things then I'm sure I could easily reach 500+hp, but that wasn't my goal. There won't be too many other cars around that can touch a 450hp car so easily. And even more so in the 4 cylinder class...

Are you planning on putting this into a 1g or 2g dsm? The 6 bolt motor will bolt up to a 2g tranny, you need to use a 6 bolt flywheel and clutch though...
