This may be really dumb, but I have had this thought for a while.
Can turbos be mounted vertically? I would say there is enough room to sqeeze two of them in behind the heads with the compressor sides up. You would have to move some wiring and such, but it looks like enough space.
That way, you have a short pipe from the exhaust manifold to the bottom of each turbo, and back out to the exhaust. The inlets get piped to each fender, and the compressor outputs to a collector and a single sensor to the stock TB. Still no intercooler , although a top-mount may get in under the hood especially if it is long and parallel to the windshield (maybe even follow the curve).
I see a problem with heat rising from the exhaust side of the turbo hitting the intake stream, but the piping would be so short that it would probably not matter that much (especially with some shielding).
There must be a reason why this does not work since I have never seen a turbo standing up before...
