Incoming n00b

I currently own a 2001 Toyota Celica with a few mods and am looking to sell it here soon and purchase an evo. I was looking at the 05 Evo 8 MR, will be mostly race geared and garaged during winter. Any input on a few first mods for under 2k would be great. Can't wait to join the Evo club!

Welcome abord.
Mod input for under two grand (opinions will vary, and if you can install stuff)...
1. Turbo back exhaust (TBE)
2. Boost controller manual or electric (MBC/EBC)
3. Fuel control (or some type of flash if your scared to tune)
4. Cams

Here's my suggestion for the most power for the least money at first:

Warrtalon Stage 2

Then, since you have money to spare before reaching $2k, add a set of cams and ARP head studs along with a reflash (or do it all at once and get flashed once).

Ya I am still just coming out with different plans for what I want to do, depending on what I get and how much money I have left over. Thanks to everyone for all their input though!

Just a suggestion. The 05 MR is great, but have you looked into the IX's? They're making amazing power with only a few mods. I had a choice of buying an SSL 05 Evo 8 or for 2Gs more, getting the IX. I thank God everyday I chose the IX. Like I said, just a suggestion...
