"to do future mods on a turbo engine these three are the basis from which to build your platform"

Exactly. While doing these mods may provide a decent amount of power, on a turbo engine these mods are not done necesarily to increase power, but to support the power from added boost. Slapping a boost controller on a stock car may seem like a cheap and quick way to increase performance noticably, but the gains would be much higher once the engine can breath properly.

Also, these mods make the car more effiecient. If you drive normally, you should see some increases in fuel economy. This is kind of hard to do though, since the car is much more fun with them, its kinda hard to stay off of the boost. Also, your mileage may vary.
Just my $.02
