HKS 280 Cams?

Is it ok to put HKS 280's while having a stock turbo? and can I run the same springs, retainers and valves.

Yeah its fine to run them. especially if you get the valve train to support it.

Just get tuned.

Good Luck

HKS cams do not have a high lift so stock valvetrain is fine. Stock turbo's are out of its efficiency range above 7500 anyway.

You can play with different cam gears settings to smooth out the idle a bit on 280's. But it'll always be somewhat lopey.
