    Hey i have a 01GT mustang and a set of 57mm turbos straight from a hp turbo kit because they were fairly priced. I now am starting a diy kit for my car, i was just wondering how much boost/hp can theese turbos make?? Also I have a fully built nitrous motor that has comp 278 cams and im told that theese are going to make me loose alot of power i want to keep a halfway aggressive cam is there any stage 3 turbo cams for my car???And lastly just wondering do most big hp cars use a single turbo setup and why whats the best to use??Thanks all replys appreciated

    you don't want a cam with big overlap as it bleeds out the boost pressure, generally turbo cams favour the intake slightly, and have a wide LSA, around 112-115, with duration for most street setups about 220-240@50.

    twins or single doesn't really matter, its more personal prefference, and packaging/space constraints.

    stage 3 means absolutely nothing, its like saying you have a 3/4 race cam, it doesn't mean shit.

    the twin 57mm's would make a fair ammount of power, just use them, and see how you go, you won't be dissapointed.

    you could leave it on there, it will help spool up if that is slow, and will make great power as the N20 cools the intake charge significantly, but you probably wont need it.

    BOV doesn't matter much, as long as it vents the pressure from both turbo's, if you have a cooler with single out just put it anywhere on the feed pipe to the t/b.
