Oh my... a little much.

Those are nearly Chevy 350 sort of numbers. You need a turbo Buick cam. Best tip I ever got was from Bill Anderson: Erson TQ20H. http://go.mrgasket.com/pdf/BuickCaddy.pdf Its pretty cheap and does the job. Put one in a 10 second project car. 214/214 with .463 lift. The car was never ran to its potential because of a bad wastegate, but it still ran 11.0 at 122+. The specs you cited are WAY too much for a turbocharged 'small' motor.

Granted, the TQ20H was used on a car with a 'big' turbo. You could use something much smaller. Perhaps a 206/206 or so.
