You won't. Worst case it will be laggy and power curve peaky.

I wouldnt run that cam. its on XE-R lobes.... very aggressive and unstable.... the last two things a turbo cam really needs.

I was in the same situation recently. I've got a n/a cam installed already and was wondering if i should spring for a turbo grind. I was told it will be ok to run tho. It's a old thunder racing cam 220/220 553/553 114lsa for a twin turbo 5.3.
