I am looking into doing a 03/04 4 valve swap with a T56 but first i would like to get a list of everything im going to need for the swap. Im not sure if anyone has already made a post like this or not but if anyone has done the swap and has a full list of parts it would be greatly appreciated!

Yup, you're going to have to do the leg work on this your own.
But a quick list will be heads, gaskets, intake manifold, 4valve COPs, 4valve timing cover, timing parts with chains and tensioners, some wires to lengthen, throttle body, valve covers, coil covers.

I often wondered about this swap as well, but i always come to the conclusion that its easier and more cost effective to boost or add nitrous to the 2V. Dont get me wrong i love the 4V's but if you figure on how much its going to cost you in parts, labor, time, misc. crap you'll need. you could do a blower or cheap on3 turbo or nitrous. just my opinion and good luck.
I was afraid that would be the case and looked for a few donors. I do all my work and tuning myself being a mechanic.. But I have (had) a forged 2v with twisted wedge head with 2 bulls eye S466 batmo wheel turbos and a 150 shot.. Long story short my old lady and me switch cars for the weekend as I drove to Florida with a couple buddies in her STI when she sprayed it and did a few no lift shifts.. 24 psi and 150 shot of the rev limiter didnt last too long. So I figured it would be a great time to do a billet 4v build.
TFS heads flow the same on intake and a little less on exhaust out of the box. Ported they flow will more than stock 4 valve heads. However, TFS heads cost a shit load more over used 4 valve heads. That's the dilemma.
