Great post!
Wanna add something about a down pipe? Maybe High flow cat/test pipe?

And the importance of tightening down T-bolt/worm drive clamps when you mess with/change your intercooler piping. This weekend I installed a licp and I thought it was pretty tight. Last night it was 20-25 degrees cooler, I dropped down to third to pass a car, and as soon as I built boost, it sounded like someone popped a paper bag. I pulled over gave the car a look over and then saw the undertray basically blown out. I called my wife, got the tools I needed and fixed the coupling that had blown off in about a half an hour. Thank God she wasn't driving or my car would be with satan right now.

+1 on sticky! Make it easy to find since most people post a thread before searching.
Think it would be a GREAT sticky for the EVO GENERAL forum...... since the majority of the "what should my noob azz mod. first!?!?" threads are in here anyway!

I also vote for a sticky,

You forgot to mention a manifold port/upgrade and a turbo/housing upgrade. Definately things that would fall into here.

there is room for improvement...I'll definitely be adding to it

I didn't want to play favorites with brands and specifics

this is just a generalization
