The biggest question for you is how much are you willing to spend. There are people that have pieced together a kit from various eBay parts for a couple thousand dollars. This approach is far from ideal as it requires a lot of work. If you can do the work yourself, you can have a turbo setup for not too much money. A few people have go this approach and have gotten OK results, but most people have not.
The best approach IMO is to buy a kit from one of the many vendors here. I would suggest going with Bob at EPP. He was a well developed Procharger kit at a great price. Going this approach is more expensive, but it is well worth it IMO. The kits are well proven so there will not be any nightmares or unexpected issues.

I am pretty happy with my built 408 aps setup. 10k or so into motor, 5500 at the time shipped for the twin turbo kit. Still need to buy new rear end for 2500 or so. Spend like 1200 on clutch but going to be swapping to 4l80 stage 5 flt trans they are like 4000 bucks. Need a nice stall still and have to spend about another 1500 still on fuel system.
Also bought hp tuners to tune it forget how much that was and eboost2 and some nicer blow offs and 3 interceptor guages and wideband.So another 1000 or so on guages.Still need to buy alc injection system as well. And new driveshaft.Already had upgraded my brakes and suspension but might upgrade to z06 calipers and front rotors to help stop the beast.
Car is very driveable and was not a race car project. I stuck with a pretty mellow lopeless cam. The 408 spools up the turbos very quickly and has lots of torque and hp even off boost. I am going to 3.54 rear gears in dana s60. The twins seem to give a nice broad powerband from around 3000 to 7000. Great for street.
