Cam timing, why? when? what?

Forced induction needs something to force against - in this case a closed exhaust valve :D

If the theory doesn't work , then it's wrong.

With a turbo motor, the average pressure in the intake manifold is very close to the average pressure in the exhaust manifold, therefore it will act in a very similar way to a N/A motor cam wise (pressure differential).

This is going to be another arguement but the exhaut gas temperature kills the pressures being the same due to the expansion of the burnt gases trying to escape alot faster than the cold gases on the intake are trying to get in. This is why the trim on a turbo is more important to get right than the compressor side when going for bigger revs.
