Default Turbo charging

I run an experienced aftermarket shop rooted in turbo charged cars.
I have always been interested in working with the Ram, but have stayed too busy with the cars that come in to really get into it. Now my area is getting filled with trucks and we have started to do some truck work here and there and I'd like to make a shop truck to advertise for the business and showcase work.
I picked up an 03 4.7l with a blown engine a while back. We just finished installing a new motor and its up and running great. I'd like to build off of this engine to show the ability to get some good power from the smaller V8. I have done remote (rear) mount turbo installs before. We have the ability to do these from scratch so I think I am going to do that and basically run straight pipes back for each header to a seperate turbo for each cylinder bank. Just interested in hearing feedback or experiences with forced induction in regards to this engine.

Well it's going to be a little bit because I am extremely busy and behind on customer cars. But fabricating the exhaust and flanges and charge pipes to run to a front mount intercooler will be the first and biggest ordeal. Also the fun part lol.

I have a 2005 5.7 QC and was thinking of doing a small twin turbo set up on it. Similar to what Ford has done with the explorer sport v6 3.5 TT but with my 5.7. Not looking to do higher than 10psi Max. There is plenty of room in the engine bay so to save money i'm not doing a rear remote mount. From what I understand and correct me if im wrong SCT sells a tuner that hooks to your laptop for only $379.00?
