I'm building a BUDGET 4.8 turbo at the moment, this is my first turbo build and I would like to get some information from some people that already have knowledge in this category to save me some headaches in the future, and to be sure I am making the right decisions I am throwing this in a 54K mile engine from a 1 owner older gentlemen that you can tell took care of it its whole life, garage kept and babied. Here is what I have gathered so far, please let me know what you think and what I am missing. My main concern is I want to make sure the cam setup I am choosing isnt going to be too much for the turbo setup. Thank you for your time.

Without being very specific about what the motor will be used in and for, you will only get generalized advice.
