Good basic mods list.
I was looking for some help with a basic mods list for an upcomming bone stock EVO. I was looking for a nice well rounded but not too complex list of mods for a BPU type of Evolution, decent HP gains with a stock turbo but nothing that will hit the wallet TOO hard, a list that I can tackle over time of the things that I really should have, and cutting out the not really necessary. Here is my list of exterior and engine mods, let me know what I am missing, some must have stuff or some helpful things.
-BOV
-Boost Guages
-Turbo Timer
-MBC
-Strut and Sway bar (just to stiffen the chassis up a tid bit, I plan on keeping the -suspension stock)
-Down Pipe
-Turbo Back exhuast
-Volk 17's
-Window tint
-CF hood
-SAFC
-Flash
-BOV
-Boost Guages
-Turbo Timer
-MBC
-Strut and Sway bar (just to stiffen the chassis up a tid bit, I plan on keeping the -suspension stock)
-Down Pipe
-Turbo Back exhuast
-Volk 17's
-Window tint
-CF hood
-SAFC
-Flash

What are some other things I am missing? I heard a K&N is a smarter move than a CAI. I see all kinds of fuel mods, and other things in sigs that just blow my mind, I am fairly educated when it comes to mods but certain things are just jibberish to me right now, are there any other things I should add to my list? Bigger injectors? or other handy must have mods? How much HP should I be making with that list, could I hop into the 12 sec club or would I need more.

Maybe go with the MR diverter valve instead of a BOV
I like my apexi turbo timer but thats about all i've seen used.
Might add the ported exaust mani that BR does.
The CF hood looks great but I can think of a few other things I'd spend the money on before i got that.
edit: if you want a cai your gonna have to take out the intercooler sprayer. I'd just go with a regular intake. I've been looking at the Buschur and the Injen kit w/upper IC pipe.
I wouldn't even think about bigger injectors anytime soon. the stockers are more than good enough unless you get a bigger turbo (from what i've read) I do have the 255lph flue pump though.
whatever you do get it all at once, if you can, and then get it flashed when you're done so that everything works well together.

HKS 272's come to mind
than maybe a piggyback engine management to get maximum power
oh most important thing when ur adding mods and this will go along with the turboback...
WALBRO 255LPH FUEL PUMP!!!!!
with all those mods and good driving skills, yes you should be in teh 12sec. club

you might wanna consider a clutch too. I was plannin on doin some other things and then my clutch went. I'm gettin the car back tomorrow with the ACT HDSS kit in it. From what i've read its a pretty good clutch for sub 400hp cars.

Ok so the initial list, a K&N drop in, but why a diverter valve over a BOV? Fuel pump... I think the cams and came gears are a little much for now unless it's something that isn't TOO expensive. How much should I be looking to spend on a new clutch because I do hear the stock clutch is junk. Any price ranges on this stuff?

Im in the same boat pretty much. Put in an Exedy Twin Disc, APS BOV (works great as it does divert unless under high boost, then it VTA with a nice snap).
Coming up: ordered a Walbro 255lph fuel pump, Injen Intake with upper IC pipe, AMS Lower IC pipe and a 3" AMS TBE. After all is said and done, going to have Al tune it down at Pruven (I live in CT). Looking forward to decent numbers and a nice change of power.
Cams and cam gears plus a new tune in another year or so.

One good thing to do is look at the Vendors on this site and check their websites for their staged upgrades. Buschur, Vishnu, AMS, etc. They usually list a good order and combo for mods...
