my (limited) understanding of turbo cams is that you:
-want to improve intake breathing - either thru duration or lift
-want to minimise exh/int overlap so you don't waste unburnt, compressed gases out the exhaust (no point having the turbo do all that work for nothing)
so i would guess that my cam has:
-slightly higher lift - exh and int
-longer duration for int
-faster exh closing
the longer intake duration makes for the sluggish motor (sub-optimal manifold vacuum when not on boost) at low revs
the crux is finding the best balance between better breathing and low-end performance - i think that once on boost, a whole lot of other factors (int and exh manifold designs, turbo trim, wastegate, dump pipe) have a greater influence on engine behaviour.
