sorry this is a non mini question, but i'm wondering if someone here can help me.

i decided to build a home-made cooper S, instead of buying one. it's a hyundai accent with an engine swap and some N/A upgrades. the car's running these aftermarket cams, and i'm thinking of going turbo. anyone know if they are turbo friendly in terms of overlap and duration, or are they too aggressive:

i can't just adjust the overlap with cam gears cause the DOHC design uses only one cam gear:

thanks for any help.

I have a friend who made his own home-built Hyundai Accent using a Yugo with a FIAT engine swap. He might be able to shed some light on your question.
