If you want to spend big bucks then ARC is the shizzle. Otherwise most people on here will advise other intercooler brand, such as: Buschur Race, AMS, Nissei, ETS.
I would say cams, meth, boost control and fuel pump definately!, intercooler and piping really won't net you THAT much power as the stock set up is pretty good. Turbo timer isn't really needed but it's cool to have. I'd say slap on the bolt-ons, get a tune, and get used to the power before you dump more moola. I think AMS is the shizzle but expensive.

Also, for FMIC I'd look into a Buschur, or AMS FMIC. Great performing and proven cores for the price. Can't really touch AMS or Buschurs core size for the price when compared to some others. Slowboy is also another good brand core.
We carry Buschur and you can find them on our site here

boost controller - MBC (Hallman or Forge)
turbo timer - Don't really need it IMHO. Just don't immediately turn your car off after driving it hard. Takes 15-30 seconds
272 cams - Cosworth MIVEC cams have excellent gains on the IX
fuel pump - Don't need it unless you're going north of 350-400 WHP
arc fmic - Again, don't need it, but wouldn't hurt. Usually aren't cheap.
uicp - No power, but MAYBE a little throttle response and engine bay bling
licp - A little power, and helps spool rate
eventually new turbo probably a fp20g or gt35r - Learn to be a master of your vehicle first. Those aren't small turbos. You could run anywhere from 10s to 11s with them.

why is it that so many people are looking to modify their car BEFORE they even get it? The evo is awsome in stock form. Why not get the car first, become comfortable with it as it is, THEN modify it to your hearts content. That way the mods you do will be that much more satisfying. IDK, maybe it's just me, but modifying shouldn't be the first thing you do to a brand new car....

Nothing wrong with that... I always buy a car, set my goals immediately & usually meet those goals all within 9 months. Takes alot of money & dedication to do though.
My goal with this particular car was a high 11 second car, 350whp. I met that goal & im at 393 now, and looking to make another 20-35 more.
