A camshaft from any naturally aspirated b-engine will enhance your turbo's performance. They have considerably more lift and duration than their turbo counterparts. You will also see that the torque curve shifts higher in the RPM range. If you really want to go crazy a cam from a carbhuerated 99 is even better, but they are hard to find. The cam housing must be switched out as well b/c the bearing diameter is different. Thats why its easiest to go with a newer N/A cam. I dont know the HP gain but I would bet it is around 10BHP. I had a N/A cam in my B-turbo and didnt even know it for a long time. Someone sold the guy who owned my car prior to me a head that he said was from a turbo. Well it wasnt and 20K miles later it was shot. When I got the car I assumed it was a turbo cam until I got a N/A cam and compared the two. I would really like something thats even hotter for more low end. Maybe when I get around to putting my ported head on there I will do a regrind (-:
