Help Me Spend my Money!! ~4k

Well i just sold my STi and my brother wants a luxury car. I have decided to give him the money from my STi ~33k and take over his BBY 03 EVO VIII.

As of now, the car is BONE Stock. All it has is a turbo timer.

This is what i was was thinking.

Buschur TBE
ETS FMIC
GSC S1 cams. (or should i go HKS 272's)
Hallman RX Pro MBC
Intake (What kind??)
Walbro 255lph.
10.5 hotside
02 housing (which one?!)
Tune

Let me know what you guys think and tell me anything i can add to the list. I know this setup adds up to less than $2500 probably. Please leave some $ for labor, as i wont have any place to work on my car in school.

I know alot more about STi's than Evo's, so educate me haha.

Thanks alot guys!

I was also considering meth, but i am not sure about having it on a DD.

Thanks for the input.
Where can i buy the ported stock manifolds, hotsides and 02 housings?

ttp^ if you plan on running high boost with meth then headstuds are needed. it works just fine on a daily driver as i use it with no issues for the last 20k on my daily driver.

buy a pony, then it will turn into real HORSEpower in a couple of years.

but make sure you get a clutch because those mods won't do any good if you can't go anywhere.

The car just got a brand new clutch installed less thank 1k miles ago.

Its the oem one, but it should hold up for a while right?

I don't plan on launching really.

i'm thinking he paid 29k since he has 4k to spend, and taking over payments unless his brother will owe him money.

and the clutch is only going to last untill you start putting power to it.
