I am thinking about dropping the JWT cams into my engine soon, I also plan on going turbo though. Are these cams ok for turbo, I have on idea why they wouldn't be but just checking.

None as of now because it's a second engine that I'm building. It will have UDP, MEVI, JWT Ecu, headers, bigger injectors, cat-back system (not sure which one), and possible cams. This will all go on at once.

ummmmm, if i remember correctly, the JWT cams are made with the intention of being used in a N/A car, not a boosted one. Therefore, you'd see better gains on a NA car, with little, no or (gasp) a loss of power on a boosted one.

It's a good idea to ask in the S/C forums, or ask Nealoc, i'm pretty sure he has some in there.

The JWT cams will most likely be incompatible. Aftermarket performance cams are usually more aggressive in terms of late intake throttle closing, early exhaust port opening, and are tuned for higher rpm as well. Because of this, with boost, you will probably boosting right through the combustion chamber quite often, as opposed to boosting air into the combustion chamber.
