So most of yall know I am building a turbo slant 6 for Vixen. My project "Cheap & Nasty". I would like to discuss turbo camshaft theory. I know that normally, turbo engines use a wider LSA than N/A engines. Usually on the order of 112 and 114. However, I've been reading a lot lately on turbo cam theory and it seems that has changed with modern turbo technology. So my question is, is there any reason I couldn't run a camshaft with say a 108 LSA with a turbo and tune it accordingly? I'm not asking regarding the Cheap & Nasty project. This would be for the next project after Cheap & Nasty, after getting my feet wet and getting familiar with turbo tuning on the stock 225. Any input is greatly appreciated. Thank you. Drive through.
 
Minimal overlap due to exhaust pressure being much higher and greater reversion. Also little to no need for a muffler, (hence the original corvair turbo mini-muffler). Stock spec cams work well.
