Talking Building twin turbo motor...... IDEAS?

I've got an 6.0L iron block LQ4 and I now plan on turboing it. Originally I was going with nitrous, but just decided to go ahead and do the turbos because I been wanting to. Anyone have an idea of what pistons and rods to go with??? I was thinking either diamond or wiseco, and maybe scat rods. I plan on using the 317 casting heads, but everything else is still up in the air.

Thanks

shooting for anywhere between 600-800HP, but trying to stay somewhat streetable. The motor is all stock right now, and I'm not really worrying about the money side because I'm not in a hurry.

Oliver is the best way to go when making big power and the budget allows for it.
