Every time I look at the spreadsheet I use for tracking Evo related expenses I end up groaning. Here's the meat of it:
Engine related - about $7900:
K&N Typhoon intake (gift from my wife) - about $220
Xede+SMART+XEDE Flash+home fabbed remote map switching and LED stuff - about $1400
Vishnu (2003 version) "standard" turbo back exhaust with both a HFC & test pipe - $850
Vishnu cam gears - about $250
(all approximate - I bought the XEDE/Exhaust/Cam gears as a kit in 2003 for $2200)
Ported head + oversized valves + springs & retainers - about $2200
Piper Rally Cams - roughly $750
Custom porting and fabrication needed for the intake and exhaust manifolds and gaskets - $150
Three different head gaskets and re-decking the head to fix the original head work + related install expenses - roughly $600
10.5 Hotside for OEM turbo and related gaskets & bolts - $300
Walbro Fuel Pump - $90
Hallman MBC - $95
Dyno time and re-tuning the car numerous times after adding new parts and testing for optimal settings + all the misc gaskets, fluids & etc. for doing all this work - guessing at $1000
Chassis related - about $5850:
Stroth 4-Point harnesses - roughly $325
TDR Pro Race one wheels + lug nuts + center caps - about $900
Rear diffuser - $400
MR rear windscreen diffuser - $170
Stainless brake and clutch lines - $180
Replacement "in car" and "under hood" shifter bushings - $60
JIC coilovers (after selling off the parts that didn't break) - $1000
Zeal Function XS Coilovers
- $2400
Cornerweighting and alignments to get everything dialed in (twice) - about $425
Suff that wore out and/or needed replacing - about $5270:
2 new sets of performance brake pads for all 4 corners - about $850
Lots of ATE Blue brake fluid (bled before and after track days) - $120
4 new sets of tires (1 snow, 2 track, 1 street) - about $4300
Total minus the stuff I'm forgetting - $19,000 - ouch!
If you take out the wear stuff I'm a bit under $14,000 - still ouch.
A couple of other notes - I do virtually all the install work myself, so the only labor here is for machine work or other services I don't own the equipment for (dyno time + alignments & corner weighting).
Unfortunately since my oil pump seems to have failed, it looks like my costs will be going up - I'm thinking of going stroker + 3076 for a pump gas track day set-up.
(oh - I voted low before checking my spreadsheet)

i just picked up my Evo, so the list is very very small. Tomorrow I'm picking up an HKS Blow-off Valve for free since I'm trading him some Works Upper Pillowball Mounts that I aquired from some guy for free, also. ^_^

I don't want to do this really, as I've been my own little ostrich brigade with my head in the sand, but here it goes:
RNR cat back with HKS carbon/ti muffler $770 (with shipping)
WOrks HFC: $249
Works 3" 02 housing (pre-production model): $429
Works coated 3" downpipe: $449
used XEDE: $650
SMART: $399 (IIRC)
XEDE tune: $300 + 165 dyno time
ACT clutch, labor, headstuds, labor & tax: $1400
Nisei intercooler: $750
WHite Rabbit: $1500
AMS lower pipe: $175
coatings $200
Buschur Exhaust Mani: $225
Works filter: $100
labor to install turbo, downpipe, LIC pipe, intercooler, and take off old stuff: $1000
This equals $7861, but doesn't include some other things, so 8 Gs is slightly conservative.
