Might wanna call an expert though. There are quite a few on here that know their stuff, BUT there are also some that don't and one could get mislead by some. I have heard some very outrageous recomendations as far as turbo cams.
( If some one does not know much about turbo cams, they could potentially take some bad info for the truth.)
Any ways, they are usually single or reverse pattern. But you still have to get other stuff like the lsa right too.

Re: Reverse Split Cam on Turbos? Like I posted in another thread, I talked to a guy with a bad azz `89 Turbo T/A and he told me that turbos love a reverse split cam. I`m curious myself, as I will be joining the "boost" club next year an don`t have any previous experience. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />

How much of a split , Im not sure, but most turbo cars i see have a reverse split, and the ones that don't have a single pattern. Other things like lobe seperation angle also come into play. But as far as duration goes . Reverse split is probably what i would go with, and should work well.
