You really only need axles if you’re going to make enough power to break the stock ones. I would suggest that you don’t even try to make that much power, until you’ve owned a turbocharged car long enough to know how to efficiently take care of it. You won’t need engine mounts. They’re really only worth buying if the car is going to be primarily driven on the track. A turbo timer is a good investment, to keep the hot oil from sitting in your turbo when you just shut it off after running it hard. But they are also known to mess up some alarm systems (if you have one), because they have problems auto arming since the car keeps running with the key out of the ignition. Unless you have a turbo, especially with an external wastegate, a boost controller is ESSENTIAL. Without a boost controller, you’ll run the maximum boost that the wastegate is set to. So if you had a wastegate with a 11psi spring, it will run at least 11psi, whether your engine can handle it or not. The boost controller also allows you to set the boost without having to spend the extra $ to buy another wastegate spring (or actuator for internal wastegates).
I can’t say too terribly much about the rest of it.. but I know turbo timers pretty well.
It works by keeping your car running for a set amount of time after you’ve left it.. this lets the turbo cool off. If you buy a turbo kit with an intercooler on the turbo, then a timer wouldn’t be necessary. If you didn’t want to get a timer, you could just drive very non-agressively the last half-mile or so of your trip, and then sit with the car idling for a minute or so when you get to your destination.. so it can cool down. My brother did not do this, and did not have a timer.. he no longer has a turbo. Wasted a lot of money.
i have a turbo CRX
well you should also swap out your internals too so that you dont bend or break any thing and you should have a turbo timer and a boost controler(turbo timer will make your turbo kit last longer and the boost controler will let you adjust how much boost pressure you will be pushing) and you should also do the exhuast and the intake as well so that you get better flow. you should also do your brake system as well because with more horsepower the better braking power you will need
