The real best advice is to Do nothing but drive your car. learn about it, enjoy driving it. Spend on gas and anything else that needs replacing. Then drive some more. Love your car stock.
Then if you still want to add mods. Before you buy anything go to the track and time your car (and yourself). You may also want to dyno your evo but that wont tell you how fast YOu and your car will be when you dance together.
First mod should be to improve your stopping range and second should be in protecting your turbo.
Always document your mods. Don't waste $$$ on BOV untill you have changed a few other parts. Forget the intakes unless you have a good tuner. Search this site. read. but dont forget to just be happy driving your car.
Warning: When you start to modify, expect some problems that may have you wondering where your loved car is gone.

Catch cans for dragers are different from our catch cans. Drag cars have oil release valves that vent sludged up oil from the engine. Our cars have a similar system called PCV (Positive crankcase ventaliation), any acidic and gassious oil that can casue gunkup will be vented through a PCV valve into the intake manifold where it is reburnt there. Since this acidic or gassous oil is produced my moderate blow by past our piston rings, our turbo cars will have more of the acidic or gassous oil since we are boosting. Now the problem lies where we vent that stuff back to the intake, first off, it degrades the combustion mixture + has some moderate degree of puting sludge into the manifold and the engine. Oil burnt in the engine has tons of extra carbons thus build up carbon as well. Catch can is a good investment to the purity of our intake air and keeping the engine clean.

ding ding ding..for a very good answer. As most previous DSMers will tell you, there is noticable blow-by on the 4g63 motors, especially when modded. Over time you'll coat the inside of your intake with a nice oily residue, which reduces the efficency of the whole system

if you did decide to get an intake (don't) why would you get a flash BEFORE you did the intake it should be vice versa , the intake then drive the sputtury spitting car to the tuner and ask him to try to get it running good
hope this helps in the future

It does save the turbo, i've seen tons of gummed up turbos from not being cooled. I like being able to turn on my timer and forget about it and not worrying that someone could steal my car. Its more or less a piece of mind or even a luxury item imo.
i agree that a boost gauge is a great first mod. it impresses the ladies also.
also if you are using boost control, a A/F meter and/ or gauge is a good idea. A/F ratios give you good insight on whats going on in your engine and how boost is affecting it.
