On a stock 20VE is necesary put adjustable camgears when you have turbo (because the overlap), or is enougth with the stock ones

Nope don't really need it. From what I have seen it might depend on the exhaust manifold you use. So far it's been the logs that seem to have a problem. Talked with Jose who built a VE+T and the car doesnt hiccup with the VVL kicks in. It takes the power from 5k to the 8k red line. It was a SR16VE bumped up to SR20 with Bluebird internals. He also ran the SR16 cams.

I'm thinking in a protech short manifold, is that a good choice?

Don't matter just as long as it's not a log. Note I could be wrong but this is just from what I have seen.

I am running a log mani and I have issues with cam timing and reversion. Who knows. Maybe that is my problem all along.
