All depends on what parts. You don't want to mix high compression pistons with 6 pounds of boost unless you like picking up parts from the side of the road. A camshaft would only help and a turbo specific cam (longer exhaust timing) would be supremely beneficial. You obviously don't want RPW's long 4-1 stlye headers if you're going to turbo since they'd be worthless.

Well, not really.. It always depends.. But yes, it is not best to mix the aftermarketparts... Coz if you use N/A parts on a TC engine, you might burn it or melt the part... So its best to use Turbo parts for a TC engine and N/A for N/A rides...

What parts are you talking about? What is going to melt?
