And then some. Limey's point should be well taken too. Most aspects of this car are really quite amazing already. The power being the one item most people would agree needs addressing. Slap a little more power under the hood and enjoy the ride.

Congrats on the Evo.
If your asking that question it means your have to do some research...get as much info as you can before you start modding so you buy all the right parts. You should be able to find everything you need to know here, check out the search feature

I would say go with Ultimate Racing. They do great work. I love my 3" turbo-back. Plus they got some good stage kits for the Evo 8.

I just got my new black EVO too. Love the thing! My first mod will be a boost gauge mounted in a pod on the "A" pillar. I also just installed the side windows air vents that are available from Mitsubishi. They are great! My next mod will be McGard lug nuts for security, plus they look cool. Gotta get the windows tinted too. K&N drop in air filter is on order. A manual boost controller will be next....
