Going to start building my car looking for input

550/1600 seems like a huge difference. Wouldn't the transition be really rough?

I've got a pair of 680cc injectors and a pair of 1000cc injectors for sale if you're interested

Haltech has no problem handling it.
In fact, majority of Haltechs run this combo.
I know Microtech used to have a problem firing this combo.

Personally, TMIC is a waste of time.
The FMIC is always superior with the exception of cost and complexity of the install.
With the $100 eBay cores (bar-n-plate), it's cheap enough almost every FC owner can afford it; the hard part is the pipes and the throttle body adapter.

Almost anything out there (from Japan) is okay.
I like Tein and Cusco myself
Most street driven cars don't need all the fancy adjustments most of those systems offer - it's a waste of money.
Tokico Blues + aftermarket springs are usually fine for most applications.

Personally, I like Koni dampers with custom housings for the FC.
(Koni is made in Europe - not Japan.)
Koni yellows offer great adjustment (continuously variable - not detents; not necessarily good for beginners) and can be custom valved if need be (for serious racing) - this is overkill for the street.

Cheap adjustable are KYB AGX's (great for the money + adjustment).

Retrofit coilovers are offered by Ground Control.
You can run whatever spring rate you want to custom your ride height.

Awsome thanks i have the greddy elbow and pipes at the house just would need to spruce them up a bit and i have another interesting problem i want to keep my P/S and A/C as this is not in any way shape or form going to be a "race" car. And i think if im creative enough i can run the pipes to allow this but has it been done? Thanks for the info on the suspension as well Ted.

It can be done, you'll have to use a little ingenuity in the routing. The older HKS and Trust FMIC's were routed so that you were able to retain both A/C and P/S

You can do it, its just all custom work. You might as well do a v-mount setup at that point for better cooling and less turbo lag.
