Default Twin Turbos?

I have a 91 5.0 and was wondering what kind of a hassle of installing twin turbos is? I have turbo headers already and two older SVO turbos that I am going to install, but I was wondering what other parts I needed and if it is even worth the money and time. Turbos are fun but I was just curious of what extra pieces I needed or suggestions someone could give me.

you might find the svo turbos to be to small...but you will need an intercooler, bov, 2 wastegates, and all the necesarry fuel upgrades

I am not looking for a huge amount of performance. I think the turbos are actually bigger than SVO turbos, my fault, but they this type, Garrett T3 Turbo, A/R .60. I can get headers and the turbos for probably about $250. Is the extra parts I need not worth the money?

If you can get the headers and turbos for $250 that's a damn good deal. Where are you getting the headers from?

I am getting headers from a local where I live that also has a twin-turbo Fox 5.0, so I figured I may jump on that if I could scrounge up the parts for the rest of the set up. ANYONE HAVE ANY IDEAS WHAT ELSE I WOULD NEED besides my two headers and turbos and intercooler? Any help would be fantastic, please help.
