keep one rule in mind...
cheap parts will be VERY expensive in the long run...
choose parts wisely
standard mods are: intake, TBE , fuel pump , Boost control , tune.
leave the rest for later (IC , cams , injectors, turbo)

injectors (FIC 1050's) $300
fuel pump (walbro 255) $100
headstuds (ARP) $100
ic piping upper and lower (ETS) $400
cone filter onto maf (SE OMG) $40
o2 housing (Megan Racing) $100
downpipe (Megan Racing) $200
catback (Megan Racing) $450
testpipe (ebay) $50
boost solenoid (FFTEC) $100
boost gauge (Prosport) $60
AFR Gauge (AEM) $200
e85 dyno tune (check with your local tuner) ~$500
This was my old setup that I drove on for 2.5 years. Made ~400 whp and ~370 tq on stock 9 turbo. Was perfect as a daily driver in my opinion. I averaged 20k miles a year. After all that and before my turbo upgrade, my compression/leakdown test results were spectacular, even with having 90k miles (at the time) on the clock. Since then, I have retired the evo to a weekend/evening fun car and have upgraded turbo and a few other things.
I would suggest (if you have the money) to also upgrade the intercooler with all that. Also, keep in mind that you will need a clutch to handle that power. Stock clutch won't handle that for very long.

thanks guys. i am new in all of this but when you say E85 is the walbro pump. OK if i change my OEM pump to performance one that means is a different gas that i need to put in. I am trying to get EXEDY twin clutch but they ask me to much for dropping the transmiccion and put the clutch ($2,500) that is if a pay the clutch.

please read the "official modding for dummies" thread or the 100 dollars at a time mod thread. plus you have a evo 9 just do the intake, full turbo back exhaust or run a high flow cat(noise reduction without perfomance loss), 3-port boost solenoid and a retune.

If you plan to stick with 93 octane you will still want to upgrade your OEM fuel pumo to a Walbro 255 if you plan on running over 23 psi.

Your location says Colorado Springs, there is e85 everywhere in the city. In fact the Western Convenience on Platte just pasted Circle dropped the price from $2.99 down to $2.49 yesterday. If you want someone to do installs, i recommend Jacks Transmission. They warranty their work, specialize in our cars and have decent prices. They're a vendor on this forum, but i suggest paying them a visit for a prompt response.
