I'm not too knowledgeable in evo modification, or any modification for that matter, but this thread describes many little things that add up to around $4500 (going by the cheapest prices). That's not such a small price, for a big list of little things. How much power will the car get if all them are bought and installed? And would it be better off just getting a few big things instead, like cams, bigger turbo, tbe, intake, intercooler, clutch/flywheel, coilovers, and a good tune with e85 conversion and call it done? Of course I understand some small things from this list will be necessary as well, such as injectors, mbc, and fuel pump for example, and all that together will also add up to about $4500, but its a much smaller list and less hassle. Again I'm not too knowledgeable so I'm just kinda asking advice rather than trying to prove something.

Nothing is set in stone, it's all going off of what you would like to do to you car. I'm no pro when it comes this this, believe me... but from what I have read and looked at on here, you have a million different ways to go with it. Try looking around at some posts and see what #'s other are putting up with their mods and stuff.

Keep in mind there is a lot more to a car than dyno numbers.

I think it's good to look at a starting point. A lot of it does add up but you need to see what you want to do with your car. Great list though
