Ah get out your wallet and then start looking for a suitable shop to help you out.
Id say at the lowest end, the cost will be about $7,000.
Garrett has some nice GT series turbos out now.
I would concentrate on getting the motor set up before worrying about "back halving" the truck...lol

I have a very good idea what I need to do to my truck but I feel insane and in the next five years I want to get more then 700 horsepower out of it. I dont want to get into my entire plan about that but I do want to know what exactly I would have to do to set up my truck with twin turbos and have it run smoothly and last. Also, what kind of turbos would I use? Do I need customs or can I get some wholesale and have someone install them for me? best regards

Actually, I've been working on more cost effective turbocharger setups for the Dakotas, Rams and Durangos over the last couple of months...
It would be possible to build you a nice twin turbo setup for around $5000...
Feel free to e-mail me if you want more info...

Did I understand correctly? You want to eventually add a blower after the twins?
Whatchu talking about Willis?
408 build-up, with everything balanced, prepped for boost should be able to make 700HP's and be pretty reliable.

Twins and a blower??!?! Are we talking about a sequential setup where the blower would be forcing already pressurized air into the turbos?? I guess if a bit of turbo lag bothers you that much... seems a little expensive for a very marginal gain though...

TurboGuy - Yep, parts as well...
Natl Enquirer - Yes, SpeedTweaks is still alive...and kicking, too
Actually, turbochargers are just exhaust driven superchargers...
I have seen where a guy built an engine with a roots-type blower(for bottom end) and twin-turbos (for mid to top end)... but, His vehicle was a show/race car, too...
IF your engine already has low end torque, twin turbos are all you need... :-)
