    Twin Turbo 5.3l plans

    So, i've been reading up on the idea of twin turbo's on my 5.3l silverado. My truck is...
    2002 Silverado 1500 with 5.3l, pacesetter long tube headers, no cats, MSD wires, Throttle body spacer, air aid CAI(both will be sold to recover some funds), 8" suspension lift with 35x12.50r18 mud tires, stock 3.73 gears, i have EFI live and will be tuning myself. LC1 Wideband sensors.

    And here's what i've come up with, my truck is a street truck, wont be doing any drags or heavy pulls, so i have no need for large turbo's. I want to do remote type mounts. I don't want to have them under the hood. I do have long tube headers and plan on keeping them, so they will be wrapped to keep the heat. Turbo's will also be wrapped. I was planning on going with two 60mm with internal wastegates. Maybe even smaller if there's better performance to be gained. This truck wont be going over 6,000rpm, so would even smaller turbo's give me better performance? I would swap in a LS6 cam, and run an intercooler for protection. Debating on water to air, or air to air. I will snorkel the intake into the box of the truck to get away from the elements. With the size of turbo's i go it will determine the injectors if needed, and fuel pump/s.

    Just looking for a little guidance from the turbo experts. I've read up a lot from this site, Quik's build was the one that set me over the top and decided to go with twin's. But just a little differently.

    Any input is greatly appreciated.

    I don't have a recent picture of my truck, but here's my truck with 33" tires.
