Do I need a tune for engine parts

For anything that changes airflow or boost, yes. Intercoolers, charge pipes and catch cans work on the stock tune because they do not change how much air gets in, only how hot it is. A bigger turbo, a larger throttle body or a pulley that raises boost needs fueling and timing changes, and the listing says which side of that line each part sits on.

What does a catch can actually do

It traps oil vapor from the crankcase vent before the vapor reaches the intake. On a direct injection engine there is no fuel spray on the back of the intake valves to wash them, so the vapor bakes on as carbon and the engine loses power over the years. The can catches it first. Empty it at every oil change and it is maintenance, not a mod.

Will a bigger intercooler add power

A little on a dyno and a lot on the tenth pull of a hot day. The gain comes from the ECU no longer pulling timing as the intake temperature climbs, so the car makes the same power on the last pull as it did on the first. Peak numbers barely move on a stock tune. Consistency is what you are buying.

Are stiffer motor mounts worth it on a daily

A street insert, yes. A full solid mount, no. The insert fills the voids in the stock rubber mount and cuts the engine rocking under load, which is what makes a shifter feel vague on a hard launch. Vibration at idle goes up a little. A solid or race mount sends everything into the cabin and belongs on a car that lives at the track.

Two sections live here. Engine components covers the pieces that keep a modified motor alive and settled: catch cans for direct injection engines, oil coolers, radiators, motor mounts and pulleys. Forced induction is the boost side: turbo upgrades, intercoolers, charge pipes, blow off valves, wastegates and supercharger kits. Both are filtered to the car you saved, so a 2.0T Accord sees its own intercooler and not one cut for a Golf R.

Order matters more here than anywhere else in the catalog. An intercooler before a tune buys you consistency on a hot day and almost no peak power. A bigger turbo before fueling and a tune buys you a check engine light. The parts pages say what each piece needs to work, and the listing calls it out when a part does nothing without something else on the list.

Heat is what every turbo car in the catalog fights. A stock intercooler on a WRX or a Civic Si heat soaks after two hard pulls and the ECU pulls timing to protect itself. Better cooling is why intercoolers and oil coolers sit next to the turbo parts instead of in an accessories bin. Motor mounts belong here too, because stiffer mounts are how you stop the shifter jumping around on a hard launch.
