On a side note, Brazilbro, what happened to the Evo in your Avatar? It looks pretty bad from such a small picture

start with bolt ons and end up with a turbo kit

drive it, and don't wreck it. Hold off on the mods until the car feels slow, and if you plan on Auto X don't mod it until you are accustomed to the car.

Go to the sites of Buschur and AMS and choose one of their staging procedures that will take you step by step through the modding process. Remember you're not driving a Civic, so listening to Joe Schmoe down the road might not be the best advice (can't tell you how many times "Joe" has told me I need and aftermarket bov on my IX).

Boost controller and good tune, then get to know the car. As someone else said, start modding it when it starts to feel slow. Start with the basic bolt-ons and work your way up to cams, meth and a turbo kit. If you plan to auto-x and/ or scca track it, then do basic bolt-ons and suspension upgrades. Either way your going to love this car. Enjoy!

Take some time and enjoy the car. Decide what you want out of the car before you just start buying things for it. Come up with a mod path, if that ends up being what you want, and do things right the first time instead of wasting money/time redoing it in the future.

There is a lot of info on this site, so you should go through and search/read for a while.
