questions on turbos

I am pretty much new to the turbo part of cars, i figured out what a wastegate is but what vaccuum line controls it? and what controls a BOV or does it activate on its own? and were does it mount? I have a winter project i am starting on in a couple of months, an 86 fiero GT V-6 and i am going to turbo charge it,,,,,,,,, now the question is should i leave the intake and put 1 turbo T3-T4 or should i build a custom intake manifold with 2 throttle bodys and 2 T3 turbos,, one T3-T4 makes about 225RWHP on a stock fiero and a custom duel intake without a turbo makes about 190HP I am having the internals built up as strong as I can. bigger cam , injectors. I am also going to put a ferarri or lambo body on it so i want it to perform as well as it looks but dont want to go too crazy and it needs to be dependable............SO one big turbo or two small ones?
