As featured in Turbo Magazine plus dozens and dozens of builds: VAC's exclusive turbo camshafts for BMW's most popular tuned engine.
VAC Turbocharged Camshafts are designed to fit all M50 (VANOS & Non VANOS), M52 (Single VANOS), S50us and S52us engines. Like all of our products, they are manufactured to our tightest tolerances and specifications from new, precision camshaft blanks. We NEVER use reground cams.
Designed from a clean start for ultimate performance, we have grinds to work with OEM hydraulic lifters that can be installed with factory tools! Our VAC 'aggressive' camshafts have been used in cars to make from 700 to 1300+ bhp with tremendous results and have undisputed, proven results under real-world conditions.
These VAC turbo grind cams enable your turbo to spool up faster, meaning power comes on quicker and last higher into the RPM band... net more power throughout the entire rpm range. Our turbo cams have helped set records all over the world, not only making power, but being reliable!

High Performance Valve Springs are highly recommended with all performance cams that will see sustained high RPM use, especially with this family of engines. They provide a greater safety margin with high performance use and help protect your motor during high RPM use.
Tech Notes:
- Please specify OE Lifters or Solid Lifters when ordering our Aggressive grind. Solid lifters are ideal for builds with RPM ranges beyond 7300 RPMs.
- VAC always recommends High Performance Valve Springs even with mild camshaft upgrades. This ensures our customers always get the best performance and reliability from their engine by preventing pistons-to-valve contact in the event of an over-rev or mis-shift. Uprated springs can help protect against this costly and severe accident.
- All camshafts must be installed by a professional, who can check piston to valve, and valve seal clearances.
