What would be the best cam to use ? Im currently using a Volvo T5 turbo. Running a generic turbo map ATM but will get it custom mapped when i get my cam and injectors. Also what cc injectors do you recommend ? Thanks alot

I think the cam has an effect on spool up of the turbo the taimer the cam the quicker the spool up and vise versa, most people use the 268/268 cam for a k03 as it's quite small and spool to early with a gt cam, but a gt cam is better for a larger turbo. There is a cam inbetween made by piper I think it's 257/257 ish.
So it depends on where you want your power to be made realy. What the Internet and books say about turbo cams is that they should have very little overlap and not too long duration so most n/a cams work pretty well such as gt.
There is a post on here all about turbo cams with some interesting info on It can be found here http://www.polog40.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,1013.0.html
   Hope this helps, also out of intrest when does ur td04 start spooling and when do you have full boost ?  What cam you using currently ?

Forgot i made this post, Im not sure what Cam im running currently. Ill write the numbers down later and get back. So do you think i should go for a GT cam ? Its looking like the most viable option. If im using a standard cam now, will i feel a differance in power output with a GT cam ? I need to write the number down off the turbo chip also because i suspect it was bought from the guy selling on here. Thanks!
