I too would like to know what others have to say. I've asked in many different posts about turbo cams and it seems that no one really has a handle on them. They either preach reverse splits, or say reverse splits are over rated and only needed in a restricted exhaust setup. Lsa seems to vary also. I even changed my cam of choice from a 224/228 @ 114 to a 227/224 .569/.563 114 LSA only because I had more input for the reverse splits. It definatley comes down to the entire setup but then again no one was really any help there either. I say every cam is a turbo cam. Some will work better than other's and good luck figuring out which one that will be.

In about 2-4 weeks I will have results of my 228-232 588/595 @114+2 xer lobe cam with a t76gts running on a tial 44mm WG w/ a 0.6 bar spring.

My buddy has a similar turbo build with GREAT results with his reverse split cam. It is much smaller in duration and lift than yours though.

Who spec'd that out? I know that INTMD8 had one similar and it went in the trash cam. I think his was 227/218-117. He said it was soggy down low and didn't do very well up top. He later switched to a 224/224-113 and gained low-end response plus significant horsepower.

Sounds nice Benjamin. My cam is a 236 single pattern cam. Has a lot more overlap than 116.

Sounds like an excellent cam to be honest with you, I'm honestly a fan of reverse split cams on turbo applications, call me old school! =)
