Default Set-up for turbo on stock z28 advice.

I have a more or less stock 99 z28, the only thing done to it is exhaust w/o cats, and a CraneCams Power Programmer. I am considering running a turbo. I dont know what kind of turbo yet. I have a friend willing to trade 1 or 2 turbos that he has in his shop for my other car (its a piece of **** car). First would a twin turbo set up on my camaro be too much? And second what all is required to a turbo set up on a camaro because its not the typical mount in the engine bay? I'm not sure where to begin on all this, I'm curious as to how much is required to run a turbo set-up.
Thanks,
Skuz

I would start with these stickies, both have good info:

Then look at your power goals and budget. On a stock engine you will be limited to about 550 rwhp (if you want it to last).
