Default need help picking turbo parts

hey guys i just picked up a 04 ctsv (ls6) and id like to do a twin turbo setup on it. im going to stay with a stock motor for this year(600ish rwhp), then do pistons and rods down the road. so id like to just buy good parts now so i dont have to buy things twice when i turn up the power later.

:manifolds
i will be making some custom sch10 tubular manifolds.

:wastgate
pt46mm x2

:turbo
this will be a street car so i dont want to go to big here and give up spool for over all power.needs to be v-band in/out (only avl. in .63 or .82) the 3 turbos i have in mind are the billit. 5857,6057 and the 6262.

:12 volt oil pump
i know the turbos will be to low to just drain back to the pan with out some sort of pump. i have no idea what will work best here

:fuel (e85)
i alredy have 2 bosh 044 fuel pumps, sump for the stock tank,-8an feed line, and fuel lab 100 psi base regulator.

:injectors
i have 4 fic 2150cc injectors. should i just buy 4 more (750$) or sell the ones i have and get 8 smaller fic injectors?

:tranny
stock/rebuilt t56 with billit keys 1-6, steel 3-4 fork and brass shift pads 1-6

:clutch
rxt twin/steel flywheel combo

well thats my plan, any and all help would be appreciated.

What about rear diff? That will definitely be gone at those power levels.

I'd say at least the 6262's with 82ar's. Pick up 4 more injectors. Mount the turbos high enough for gravity feed. Find a good tuner to get those injectors idling. Minitub that thing and call The Driveshaft Shop for some upgrades.

Do you think 6262s will be vary lagy? I have been eye balling the new billit pt5558.
As for the diff i already have a CS 8.8 kit on the way.

I prefer to select the smallest turbo that will still meet the max horsepower goal.

A pair of 5858 CEA ball bearing would kick ***. (.63 v-band)

I don't think the 5558's would have any better response. (at least they didn't before the CEA turbine wheels, 5557 vs 5857)

Sorry im kinda new to the small end turbos. So u think i should do 2 of the billit 5858. Keeping in mind that i want to make a max power of around 800whp. Is a .63 ex housing going to be to restrictve? I whould hare to spend 2k on turbos just to have to biy bigger ones down the road

Im on the fence too between 58/58's and 62/62's. 6.0 w/rectangle port heads, auto with converter 1000lbs less than ctsv. Lots of street highway, 1/4 and standing mile. I think 58I compressor will choke my combo.
