It would really dpepnd on your budget. I would start with the exhaust components and induction kit in addiiton to a boost controller. Several EVO part sites give you upgrade stages with HPgain and cost, check them out

Do a search........ There's tons of threads on this stuff. Exhaust and flash are the most common and best 'bang for the buck'.

1. High flow air filter, 2. Cat back, 3.spark plugs and electrical parts, 4. ECU, 5. MBC.
4 and 5 can be done together to proper tune the car.

I would save your money on MBC and intake until you can afford to get a tune at the same time. I would start with the exhaust first. Do a catback first, then work your way to the engine as you can afford it.

A HF cat ($150) or testpipe ($75) and a muffler delete will do you the most for little funds. Hit up Darrly with Ultimate Racing, and he'll get you some damn good prices. There's TONS of other good names out there too.

Just free up the airflow as it's leaving. It's amazing how much a complete exhaust can increase your power for about $800 total.

Don't buy an intake system, they tend to cause lots of problems.....unless they are specially tuned and it looks like you don't have the funds for that. Just check the for sale thread and see how many people are trying to dump them off!
