Re: 550 hp 1.8t
Sweet! Pretty much exactly where my car will be; although, I have a 2.0L and a little higher compression. I'm shooting for the same numbers, but on 94 octane. And about 500lbs lighter

Haha Mike, the build is pretty much done - check out my sig 
All I have to do is decide on the turbo, and weld up some piping. I'm considering fab'ing up a tubular exhaust manifold as well; but, I'm not entirely sure what I want to do with the powerband yet.

Make a road-trip out to SK, and I'll help you put it all in!I'm also trying to build a stock-like power-band, so I needed the AEB head and higher compression. My goals are: 30MPG, 22+PSI by 3500RPM, and the most power I can make at those levels. I was set on 450wHP (~600cHP), but I think I might bring that down a bit to keep a broad, torque-y power-band.
