The LP2 is a great gift! The gains are really noticeable with an average gain of 12hp over stock!

Thanks,

if you get him an MBC make sure to order some new vacuum line. the stock vacuum line has restrictor pills in it. you can order new vacuum line from slowboyracing.com/sbs trust me you dont want to have an MBC without this hose.

You can get vac lines from ricerzone for about 5$. If he is going to do the installs himself I suggest you check out the how-to section and buy him the parts needed to make a boost leak tester. The parts can be bought for around 10$ at Home Depot. That way as he mods he will be able to find and fix all his boost leaks because he will have them.

all the mods are good ideas but i'm with this.
I say start with the basics.
I lost my radio for a day due to a blow fuse and i thought i was going to lose it

a detail kit is a good idea also, adams essentials is a great one for beginners and its affordable. a wing could be good too if he doesn't have one... imo, the evo looks 100% better with a wing on it

I'd go headunit or catback since you said it was stock right.
