Default What kind of cam is 944.105.155.05R?

Is this the is same as the NA cam that offers slightly better torque over the standard turbo cam or is this just the standard turbo cam?

In case this is not the same as the NA cam, what is the part number for that cam.

Thanks in advance.

155.05R is a stock turbo cam which is the same as the early na cam. The later 155.09R na cams have a more desirable exhaust profile for the turbos.

I'd be interested in this too, thought about running the original cam housing/cam on my 2.7 head.
