Proper break in. A flash and maybe some AMS intercooler piping. I wouldn't go to far with a new car and a warranty, but that is just me.

Break in properly then a tune. Thats all I am doing for a while. You will def want a tune as the car is ok stock but with a tune it actually drives much better. As many ppl have put it "A tune makes it drive like a real Evo". I wouldn't know as this is my first experience with an evo but a tuned one def feels better . Congrats on the new car!
