Default turbo questions for future build.

Okay so after posting in the gen 3 I ternal engines on how to make 450 crank hp. I got talked onto just putting a turbo on. So.

2001 silvera RCSB stepside. Stock trans. Stock rear end. Stock motor. 5.3l. (Has headers, exhaust, and a tune.)

Looking to do a rear mount. Dont want to deal with the mess under the hood.

First question. Should I do a procharger? Or should I do a rear mount? Whats the difference in power? Pros cons. Etc.

2nd. Question: was thinking id mount everything in the bed of my truck. Run the pipes into the bed. Under the truck. And up to the motor. Have a box in the bed for the turbos oil. So I wouldnt have to run oil lines up to the motor. How does a stand alone system like that compare to a normal system where the oil comes to and from the motor?

3rd question: how would a twin rear mount turbo work? And if I did a twin rear mount how would it work of I did a small trubo and a big turbo? Small turbo feeding the spool on the big turbo?

Ive never messed with FI. This will be my first build FI or NA. Thanks for the tips. And any advice.
