What turbos are cam compatible?

What cams will fit on a turbo set up??...or what turbos are cam compatible... i know there are many types of turbos out there, i havent bought a turbo yet but am going to invest in one sometime in the future... so if someone out there knows of cams that are turbo compatible or turbos that are cam compatible that would really help

Your best bet will be contacting RPW and getting a turbo cam ground for you. They will spec the cam according to your mods and grind a new one accordingly from what I've been told by David.

But basically any cam will fit on any turbo setup; the cam has nothing to do as far as fitment of the turbo.

i would order from RPW but they dont list prices and that is a turnoff when looking for products. i dont feel like sending in an order form or calling them long distance.

Cam is being made ONLY by RPW. No one else, except people in PR making their own design and specs.

I'm not sure if the TC cams cost different than the NA version. PM the few who has the NA cam.

As for install . . . it should be somewhere on the site.

Upgrading the cam alone won't net you any gains. In fact you'll have the worst gas mileage ever until you hone the added fuel with a piggyback. Then you can put the extra fuel to work.

Email them. Expect a good week before you hear back from them though; in fact there's an autoresponse that will give you the same warning. I've spoken with David off and on regarding turbo components and I'm gonna be going through them once it's time for a turbo cam. I think the prices will be the same regardless of what cam you choose since they custom grind each one.
