Higher lift afaik; long duration cams work well in n/a cars (with other appropriate mods) mate.
If it's any help, a 270- 285 degree duration would be fast road to road/ race in an n/a car and 300+ degree duration would be an all out race/rally cam with an exceptionally lumpy idle and power band above 3-4k rpm- I know because I've had them all in various n/a cars in the past. Hope this helps a bit even if it's not for turbo'd cars!

as you can see, the Pipers have a higher lift but the NA's have a longer duration so not sure which to go for
NA
Intake:250dr duration 0.332 inch lift
Exhaust:252,6dr duration 0.332 inch lift
T5
Intake:242dr duration 0.312 inch lift
Exhaust:243,5dr duration 0.312 inch lift
Piper
Intake:248dr duration 0.348 inch lift
Exhaust:248dr duration 0.310 inch lift
you dont need a highlift cam in a turbo about 10 to 11mm lift and 250 to 260 max duration ,i had n/a cams in my v70 and worked well with the t35 hybrid
