   i agree with williams, GMC are the daddies of Saxo tuning imo!
   
   not sure on the price of the diff, but just the cams and a remap will set you back around £700-£900

   708s + Turbo = bad idea. Too much blow through. PT51s are the way forward with a turb

   pt51s have longer duration so shouldnt that give more blow through?

    What is the problem of using camshafts and turbo?

    You can get away with a 708 inlet cam and a 703 exhaust cam.
    
    but you can get specific turbo grinds from piper although there quite mild.

    Unsure, thought it was due to the lift on the 708s. Pete Wymer's made a solid 297bhp on PT51s so they're proven

    as david said too much blow through. 708s and similar are seen as to much so milder cams are used but looks like there ok

    wild cams and turbos are a bad mix mate.
    mild cams and a turbo will be better
    wild cams for N/A cars are in a different ball park when it comes to turbos.
