I think LSD should go in before any other hp mods are done.
I would go TB and LSD at the same time, then cooling mod shortly after. So hard sometimes as many of these things work so closely together.
Adding hp, comes reduced traction and increased heat so I feel like saying, just buy them ALL. Heh, money no object of course.

1. wheels
2. EVO kit
3. TB
4. Exhaust
5. LSD
I say wheels first because you have a lot more HP already and if your still on the stock tires ... less contact patch less traction.

Since you already have K2, the next most logical choice is I/C mod. Then I would personally do the Wheels, TB, and LSD in that order. Don't waste your money on an exhaust.

If you're looking for performance then naturally the LSD would be the best place to start. If your car already has pullies and is running more boost the cooling would also be a nice addition. I firmly believe that wheels should be one of the last things you do. Tires on the other hand are something that should always be done, when possible. A car can only handle as well as the tires and suspension will allow it too. Also what good is a car with a ton of power if it can't get the power to the ground, but has nice wheels?

Although I do know some women are more impressed by speed than tire smoke
