very helpful,sorry i meant like what turbo,amount of boost,pistons,con rods,head have you got/or planning to get.
when do u get boost,is it late,do you want cam to kick in early at 1500 or late at 2500,push up till 6k or 7k.aswel whats the car used for,daily driver or just foot to the floor sessions once in a while.

IMO you have to take all this into account when choosing your cam profile etc
