For starters, I'll suggest you get used to the car bone stock, then decide which parts you want to enhance. My tips for first mods are: TBE, nice clean BOV and some coilovers.

Buy a used 8 and send it to Buschur Racing. Give him 25k and youll have a reliable 500whp pump gas DD EVO

+1. Then invest the rest into something smart like stocks or save it. Dont spend it on foolish materilistic things.

Get an Evo as close to stock as you can find, then take pride in adding parts one at a time to feel the joys of tuning.

go find a good financial advisor, then find an Evo.
Whats your goals with the $$? house, school, retirement...
if invested properly you can make that $$ work for you very well.

As far as the evo aftermarket parts you asked about, what is it you are looking for? are you going to race it, show it etc. these will determine what and where to buy
