all this bickering and no one answers the question.

I promise not to be one of them, I recommend:

48 lb injectors
a second high volume high flow intank pump (I have 2 walbro 255s)
forged rods/pistons
2x garett t4s (grand nationals)
90mm maf (lightning at the j/y)
75mm throttle body
3 core liquid cooled intercooler (may be overkill)
2x tial 38mm waste gates
mitsubishi 12psi bypass
1-3/4" shorty headers
very cold autolite double plat plugs
boost controller
3" mandrel bent full exhaust with turbo mufflers

seriously, don't get a mail order tune, get a real tune, baby the car those 300 miles to get it done or do it yourself. I recommend a wideband o2 and an air/fuel ratio gauge. You also want a boost gauge along with fuel pressure and oil. Since your going standard you'll need a better clutch. A dual friction would be nice. Don't forget you'll need to tap your oil pan for the oil lines for the turbos. You'll probably have to relocate your battery to the trunk for more space.

If your serious though it can and has been done like you said.
