I'd go for the 270, give you a nice improvement in the mid-range and will work well with a T25 turbo
The 285 is the better cam but its more for top end power, would only use one of those if you going big, high revving engine

O I see so unless I'm going for a bigger turbo then the 270 is better plus am I right in thinking that with the 270 I don't need the piper valve springs or vernier pulley

I personally don't think you need to go too wild on the cam when going for moderate power, even a standard cam will get 200bhp its just the 270 helps it a lot more and gives more mid-range
You can use standard springs with the 270, a vernier is a good idea for any cam allows you to adjust the cam timing to gain the most out of it and alter the power band abit too
