Leave the car the way it is for now until you get more comfortable with it. From there, you can start seeing what needs to be replaced/upgraded.
The most important thing right when you get the car is to change all the fluids if it wasn't done recently just for a peace of mind.
As for modding, the basic things you can do is tbe, cone filter, fuel pump, boost solonoid, and a tune. Injectors aren't really necessary at the power level your going toreach, so I'd say hold off on that until you go bigger turbo, cams, and/or E-85.
I've had my Evo for a little over four years now and got a tune with the mods I mentioned a little over two years ago making 306 whp and I'm still happy with it. There's no need to rush the mods because you will realize if you haven't already, it's a never ending addiction.
Good luck with the car, enjoy it, take care of it and it will take care of you in return (not always true though lol) and post pics once you get it!

sweet guys thanks for your help, Im really stoked about getting it now, I have a turbo lancer and I learned alot about that plus I know how to tune and install all the other stuff which is great. So it looks like everyone had there cars for awhile with no issues. I just didnt want to get it if something was going to happen later down the road. Looks like I will be joining you evo guys soon
