This is gonna sound kinda bad either way I phrase it, but why would we need to convince you?
A brief look at automotive history will show how far the turbocharger and turbocharging technology have come, how much more popular it's becoming, etc.
You can package the system any way you want it (including remote mount), you have plenty of systems on the market to tune it however you want it, and there is no way anyone can deny turbos can make some amazing power (Nelson, for example, offers a twin turbo small block making a dyno-checked 2500hp, 2000 lb/ft pull in "race trim" and 1500hp, 1400 lb/ft in "street trim" for a cool $52k).
The only limits will be your engine, your wallet, and your sanity.
That being said, they're amazing. Once the boost bug bites, there is no going back. You'll turbo your lawn mower.
tl;dr Go turbo, do some research, don't be afraid to ask questions - you can thank me later.
EDIT - And for the record, assuming this was my engine, I'd go sequential turbos... smaller, faster spooling turbo for immediate off-idle boost and a big boy that kicks in around 3000-3500 rpm.
