What made ya go with the .525/.525 cam? Wut brand cam?

Got it for $100 bucks lol, and it seems as though turbo setups don't mind small cams.

Stock shift linkage needs to be shortened about 1"-1.5" and it should work fine

I has some questions.

Any pics on the intercooler mounting and pipe setup? Also for the tranny crossmember is that a custom made one? Ive seen other people just move the stock crossmember back and re-drill new holes which I was planning on doing.
