Evolution IV parts compatibility, advice, and suggestions?
I recently acquired an evolution IV.... beautiful vehicle with a timeless design. The vehicle has been sitting for quite some time (6-8 years?) I'm planning to take it somewhere and get the maintenance situated. When it first started it had a rough idle and would not turn on til the 2nd attempt. Few days later it would crank faster with no second attempt, and fired up. Idle was at a steady 1k fluctuating.
Now she turns on right away and has a nice idle under 1k. She was maintained very well by the previous owner and has been garage kept. Sorta like a time capsule barn find for our generation I guess?
The question is this, who can I take her to in NY NJ for quality work that will guarantee and stand behind there craft? I'm in no way trying to build a race car just something very comfortable for a Sunday drive with the kid and wife.
So far it sounds like it needs a power steering pump? Is there a compatible OEM part? Is there an upgraded version? What else is compatible? I probably don't need but I want to get belts, hoses, gaskets, and pumps done. It's a 97 evolution IV are there any US models That may have compatible parts? The parts will only be OEM or better.
Thanks for any insight!

Much appreciated CeeWhizzle, I just really want this thing on the road where it belongs, but at the same time reliable and being able to drive anywhere with no hesitation is crucial to me I hate for it to break down with the baby on board. Does anyone know if there are rebuild kits?
