Recognizing mods
i bought a used and modded evo 9 MR (i know it's not recommended.. )
the thing is, the used car dealership had no idea what the previous owner had put in it. in fact they told me it was stock and the warranty was still valid. It's obvious, though from first look that fujita intake piping is installed.. and the exhaust is TBE with no cat converter. oh and also tinted windows
i know they lied to me but i think i paid pretty good price for it and the car was in good condition (i had it inspected by a third party) so i bought it anyway
my question is.. do you know of any visual tells for any other mods? i don't think i can spot any more mods and i think it would be good to know what's already installed for the future when i'm comfortable with the evo and want to start modding it more. maybe i'll just take it to a tuner or someone who knows.. opinions?

thanks for the replies. i ended up paying 28k for the MR.. and they installed new brake pads and tires... which by the way were probably the cheapest ones that fit the size. you know used dealerships
i'm not actually sure how to locate the boost controller.. but i'll definitely ask when i visit a dyno. somewhere.
hopefully i'll find a nooby-friendly place in socal
