What should you do to prepare?

Well...I would say either:

A: Start buying parts that would contribute to the actual kit that don't come with it (Example: Turbo Timer, 2 1/2 or 3" exhaust system etc etc)

B. Save your money to contribute to the ACTUAL purchase of the turbo kit

C. Save your money...just incase something was to happen.

With that said...

No need to buy an intake because you won't need it when you're turbo'd

Motor mounts would help keep your motor from moving, hence keep your turbo from shaking possibly hitting your firewall.

If you get springs, make sure you get shock absorbers that are MADE for the height drop you're aiming for.

Nothing wrong with getting a short shifter, inexpensive and effective...my kind of purchase

Anymore questions, just ask.

Going off of what NJHK said - I'd either purchase new struts (you're gonna need them soon) or something towards the turbo project that may not be included in the kit. You could also start with your exhaust if you already have a pretty good idea of what kind of turbo setup you'll be running.

On a side note - what company/person are you buying the kit from?

Excellent choice! I know for a fact that you'll be very happy with it. I'm pretty sure Hahn's kit are very complete; do you know if an FMU or any other fuel mods are included?

I'd finish your suspension first by purchasing some quality struts that will be able to handle a drop. Running around with a boosted J with struts that can blow at any moment is a dangerous thing.

I'd purchase some koni's or d-specs, then save what you have left towards the turbo.

Having all that power your going to want control. When my little brother supercharged his car and had blown struts with lowering springs. It was unnerving to drive in, not very confident.
