I am no expert but I would have thought the lift on the exhaust side would be bigger for a turbo application.

If thats a TR cam, it sort of resembles the "old man cam" they sell, give them a call and see what they say as well if you don't find what your looking for here.

yeah lift on exhaust side is a lot lower? LSA should give it a nice smooth idle.
