Haha, kaonashi makes it sound like the Evo is a poor defenseless puppy... Cute:

= EVO!!!!

And plz don't ever buy a car just to contribute to your self-esteem/worth (unless you feel you can officially declare yourself "mid-life crisis'd", that's cruelty to animals!

Plus, at least you're not driving a Hyundai

Ya, and the stupid thing is that the recirculative BOV setup still blew off occasionally.

No biggie. I loved the motor... I hated the paint job.

I want something with a bit more "ooomph" than stock (however that is achieved on an Evo), but still have stock-ish driveability. Slightly firmer than stock ride, some nice rims/tires. Maybe a subtle front lip. It'd want to keep the stock bottom end if at all possible. Again, I've gotten into the money-pit that is the "built engine" and have no desire to go there again.

I honestly have absolute ZERO knowledge about turbos or how to modify them. Superchargers, whether roots type, or centrifugal I know inside and out, but turbos... nothing. So, I wouldn't know where to start.

Thanks in advance for suggestions

In these cars the "oomph" is there and if you want more you can do so for very little money. The factory suspention is stiff, however if you want it lower, as a lot of us do, you can go with springs. If you plan to auto x, time attack or other you might want to go with coilovers. The sky is the limit with these, for a fun street car they are great you get the power and handling of a fine european with the seating room of a family car. Have fun and good luck with the search.
