I installed my own. The whole system with tuning equip will run a little under 5K,

then you need a good wideband A/F gauge and vac/boost gauge at a minimum.
I'd guess that in install and tune would run between 1 and 2k.

Dyno's;
stock, 267 RWHP
turbo, 450 RWHP.

I am an STS dealer.

STS does not make a twin kit for the Hemi. You would have to take a single and make it a twin by adding another turbo, adding the intake tubing and making your exhaust a true dual.

And on top of all that you you better add forged parts now or you will be replacing/rebuilding the entire engine later.

If you wanted somthing that could run twin turbos stock you should have bought a 70k sports car.

The sts system can make more power than these engines can handle.

Why in the world would you want twins?

We have been through this before with this person. Just let him install a twin then we will see his post about why he has smoke coming out of the tail pipes or why he has oil leaking and huge hole in the side of his block.

why run a twin turbo??? Even in cars that come with the twin turbo setup ( ex: supra) most people run a single turbo conversion to get the most power out of the motor. There really is no point to a twin turbo setup imo.... single all the way in any application.
