Turbo Blue is the heaviest and hardest rubber I've ever seen. G1 is no lightweight either, and SPE is a pretty chunky blade, overall I would guess that the setup would be pretty heavy. Turbo Blue being really hard is also kind of slow and dead unless you have a really strong impact, personally I wouldn't want to use it in the first place much less put it on a slower style blade like a 5 ply wood, but if you like the feeling then I am not in a position to judge.

I'm using a Tibhar SPW paddle with the Nittaku H3 Pro Blue rubber on my forehand and the Fastarc G-1 rubber on my backhand. Before deciding to make the switch, I was using a pre-built paddle. How did my choice go?
Fine choice. For 2 years, I used Tibhar Stratus Powerwood with H3 orange sponge commercial on the FH and G-1 on my BH. It is a fine set-up. Nothing wrong with it.
