As of now I'm trying to increase power for my Teg that can be kept after I go turbo. So far I only have a catback exhaust system and soon a Skunk 2 intake manifold. I'm sure cam gears and pullies can be kept after turbo, but I was just wondering if they really are signifcant and WORTHY upgrades over the stock ones. I'm thinking AEM for both mods. Anyone got aftermarket cams + pullies? How was the perfomance increase?

No significant gains on those as a bolt on. The adjustable cam gears will benefit you later when you get your turbo set-up dyno tuned. I never really believed about the significance of lighter pulleys except for weight reduction. The factor of inertia will be affected but for a slightly modified car will not do crap. You will have less rotating mass but that's about it. Although depending on what turbo set-up you plan to do later, it can be detrimental to your goal.......
