Default Starting a slow EM2 build

Well ive been pondering on whether or not if i should build up my em2 and finally ive decided to go with it, you just dont see a lot of well put together em2's or any em2's on here for the matter. Car is basically stock now

Here's a list of whats gonna happen and will have pics of everything that gets done
Exterior
*My car is an 03 so plan to do an 04-05 front end conversion
*Debadge the car
*Aftermarket grill
*Black housing headlights with 8k HID's
*Clear fogs with 3k HID's
*Carbon fiber front lip
*Car will also get a paint job maybe arctic blue
*5 zigen gn+ wheels 6 spoke 17in gold/bronze
*still looking for tires, i like kumhos but still looking
*OEM style carbon fiber hood
*20% tint all around

Interior
*2 corbeau front forza seats
*NRG seat harnesses - 4 Point (Black)
*Black factory floor mats
*Pilot motorsport leather shift knob
*pilot motorsport steering wheel w/ hub adapter quick release
*3 gauge pod pillar
*Air fuel ratio gauge
*Boost gauge
*Oil temp gauge

Performance - Not gonna really build the motor completely yet
*Going boost- TSI turbo kit running at a safe 6-7 psi
*Greddy exhaust either evo2 or ti-c
*Aem cold air intake
*Clutch masters stage 2 clutch kit
*Clutch masteres aluminum flywheel
*ARK short shifter
I dont plan on making my car fast and all that. i just want it to be nice and well done

Suspension - As for this part i havent found everything i want to do for suspension yet but i do plan on going with skunk2 full coil over system pro 2, still looking at sway bars tie rods and ect. let me know of what brand you guys think i should go with for the suspension

Ive still got a lot of researching and shit to do for my car i know but hey everyone starts somewhere and this is mine, this is all i can think of for the moment will update when i can and wen the build gets going

yeah i got an ex and i know im not gonna see much hp increase with the intake and exhaust but i dont plan on racing the car so huge hp increases dont concern me even though i want to run boost lol i plan on getting another motor to mayb build to run high boost but this cars going to pretty much be daily driven and show, as for the lip havent found one really but also havent really been lookin till i get the front conversion done
