    mild cam okay for turbo setup?

    I've been going back and forth about getting a mild cam (schrick 272 more than likely), but would like to be putting on a TCD kid sometime this year. Just wondering if this would be more of a hinderance down the line with the turbo on? I've never really seen any turbo cams for the M20... thoughts?

    it's going to make more power, only the difference is going to be even larger since you are turbo. I can't see any real downsides.

      turbos like cams with less overlap. if that cam has the same or equal overlap youll make more power. if overlap increases you might not see the gains that you hoped for

        a schrick 272 doesn't have a whole lot of overlap though.

        also many "turbo" cams are sold with an assymetrical profile that basically turns the exhaust into a big restriction. a good N/A cam is a good turbo cam.
