Almost any cam will WORK with a turbo, but will it work well and produce what the owner wants. It is the same deal with n/a cams, many will work but you should choose based on what you want to do with the car and what you want out of it.

That cam is a bit big.
My 236/236 was left in because I didn't feel like swapping cams in addition to the turbo install.
I can already tell that I'm probably going to switch to a smaller cam in the future. Probably in the 220-224 range.

cjg, you can always try it and see what happens. The cam you mentioned is what I ran with the blower setup. I made 754rwhp at 6600 with 21 psi but I'm not sure how the turbo will peak.

my old cam was ~250/250 .6xx lift 114lsa
new cam is 26x/26x .7xx+ lift 115lsa
don't let anyone tell you it's too big, especially PSJ
It's all about where you want the power in the RPM band
I might rethink the turbo choice though, you'll be hard pressed to get 14 psi out of a 70mm unit and make decent power with the air it does move at that point. My .02 anyway
