At any rate I know I need a good charger made for them, is that all I need for Li-po? Oh a list of internals required as well for that upgrade.
Do you guys know the piston and cylinder needed, as I plan to extend my barrel (6.03) to M4 size under a silencer.
Last question, when I do the TBB should I do the piston, nozzle cylinder and hop up rubber all at once or can the piston and cylinder wait?
If I remember right, a M4 barrel is 363mm. When you do that upgrade, you also should upgrade the cylinder. The SiG's default barrel is only 247mm/248mm long, and uses a Type-2 ported cylinder. With a 363mm, you should match the cylinder with a Type-1 ported cylinder.

EDIT: Also, larger batteries in a SiG 552 can be accommodated for by one of two ways. The first is taking out the battery holder inside the hand guards (There are 5 screws that hold it in place, and they are easily accessed). This does expose the inner barrel a bit, but not to the point where the battery would damage it. Commonly this is done to make way for a 9.6v battery pack. The other option is an external battery pack. A lot of people use an external battery pack in the shape of a PEQ III (or was it II?), and this way they can hold a 11v li-po battery in there. Personally, when I upgrade to a larger battery, I will end up going for the PEQ battery pack. With no battery in the handguards, I now have more than enough room for a MOSFET setup. Since the SiG552 is a fairly packed gun, it would be a bit difficult to fit a MOSFET in any other place.
