Well be prepared to spend a lot of money if you're going twin turbo'd. There's no kit's out there so you'll have to find a shop to custom do everything for you. If you're going to do that I'd say hold off on buying the turbo's and see which ones they think would be best with the setup they put together.
That's just my .02 though

100 hp is doable, cost your going to get close to the $6000 mark (don't forget if you do a v8 swap it will cost a couple grand typically in misc parts, and your still about the same power)

If you get a really good price- since it doesn't come with anything at all. Honestly if you aren't into doing things yourself I would stay away from having to fabricate stuff. Its a big PITA and unless you can think 5 steps ahead you end up redoing a lot of stuff.
From the sounds of it, I think you would be better off just waiting for someone to sell their kit off their V6 that they have done the fab work for you.
