Mods that are a waste if going turbo.
Well, these mods appear here and there in different posts but we never combined them in one thread. What mods people should NOT get if they are planning to go turbo route? Header since it will need to be replaced. How about CAI? What else?

A bored/honed IM&TB will allow more air flow into to the engine and therefore would be beneficial to a turbo setup.

How about 58mm TB? Is it big enough? Or in this case, the bigger the better?
Not necessarily, in low turbo HP applications you don't really need a big T/B. Case and point second generation turbo Mitsubishi's come with a 50mm T/B. But when upping the power bigger T/B is always better.
