I will tell you right now, turbos are NOT cheap and the minute they are they **** everything up. Just a little warning about that.
Now, a hot cam would work but why? Just stick with a stock cam. Put a stock motor in it and drive it until you have built a short block and a good turbo setup and then put it all in at once. I say that because it sounds like this might be your only mode of transportation.
On the flip side, I am going turbo with a cc306 in my car. For an off the shelf grind, you don't get a whole lot "choppier" than that. However when I build my engine, I will be running either a custom spec cam or my LPE219 cam.
