I have an 04 AT Coupe and have decided that I want to sell it and buy an already TT'ed coupe (My reasons for not doing it myself are many but include the fact that I don't have the time and I'm in the wrong part of the country to have it done well and be at all involved in the process, and that the car I have just isn't the base I'd want to start with, among many others). However, the swamp of options is treacherous and I don't want to make stupid mistakes or buying decisions.

I'm in a similar situation to that of ITNKICN in that I've decided I want a big boy car, but my knowledge of the required subject matter is lacking. However, I've decided not to go through the multi-year headache of his experience and find one that's done. I know a surface level bit about the subject matter, but honestly, it'd be pretty easy to take advantage of me right now I want to change that before I make my decision. I've done some reading on the board, but there's only so much I can understand. I'm begging to be educated, lay it on me

Basically, I want to know what I should be looking for in a FI purchase. I'm looking for 500whp+. Injectors this, fuel system that, PSI this, tune that. What should I be looking for and what should I be wary of? What questions should I be asking? One thing I seem to have learned is that Greddy setups are the favorites -- Am I wrong? Should I strongly favor a Greddy setup or is it more a matter of opinion? Absolutely any advice or insight on the topic is appreciated. I'm tired of feeling like I sound like an absolute joker when I'm asking questions (Example - I don't want this to be me: "Ur car can haz turboz?! Haz lotz horzepowerz? Me likez and wantz lolz plz take mah moneyz" )

Rumour is that he's selling or at least interested in selling. I know if I were in a position to buy, considering what I've been through, that I wouldn't hesitate for one second to go that route instead. The guy has one of the nicest Gs on the site, tastefully modded and tricked out in a way that would be like baby bear's porridge: Juuuuuuuuust right.

I can't speak for whatever you have on the table right now but if he's got his up for sale I'd be taking a really long, hard look at it.

His and meatbags are the two I would buy if I didn't have one already....mine might even be for sale this summer after I get it tuned I want something more family friendly maybe an SUV.
