Twin Turbo help/questions/opinions
Ok first off I did search around to get a feel for this before posting so if it's covered somewhere please let me know / don't shoot me 
I've got a 92 Camaro RS with roughly 65k miles on it, overall good shape. It's got an L03 305 TBI engine and TH700R4 tranny all origional. The car has never seen a snowflake (I'm in the Cleveland area) and amost never sees rain either so condition is pretty good.
Over the past few years the exhaust has started to rust out (guess it's just that time) and has finally developed some nice big holes and needs replaced. Instead of replacing it with the stock setup, or upgrading to a decent set of headers and higher performing cat back option I'm very seriously considering putting in a twin turbo config.
I have no dilusions of installing it myself I'm not an exhaust guy and don't have the time to be honest. But I've seen a lot of kits online like THIS ONE. The price doesn't seem bad and it looks pretty well thought out. My question is has anyone done this? Do you have recomendations on kits like this or on a reliable place to have it installed in the general Cleveland area? I assume I'll need some other mods, like bigger injectors (350 injectors?). The kit comes with a fuel preasure regulator, do you think I'll still need a more robust fuel pump? Can I stick with the stock ECM? what type of exhaust should I throw on with this? I guess overall what else do you all think I'll need to make this work
I know some people will just say throw a 350 in there but I'd really rather keep the stock 305 so the numbers match. I'd like for this car to be a bit of a sleeper, look stock (maybe not sound stock..lol) and be able to suprise anyone that thinks it's just a plain old RS.
Also... one thing I'd love to find is some good exhaust pipes, nice long 3" black chrome. I'm noticing black chrome pipes are difficult to find, any ideas?
Thanks in advance for everyone's help.

Re: Twin Turbo help/questions/opinions
If your asking all these questions I think putting on a turbo kit might be little much for you, there is lot involved in setting it up and tuning.
Best to do a bunch of research over on the Power Adder forum.

Re: Twin Turbo help/questions/opinions
You could turbo a TBI motor, but I'd seriously consider a different type of fuel delivery method (carb or Multiport EFI) before installing a turbo. I'm no TBI expert, but putting any real money into that injection system would probably not net the same power potential as putting it into something even like TPI.
