Unless the Titans started growing incredibly tall engine mounts or very deep oil pans that probably won't be the best location. On the right track as far as piping for the hotside of the turbo but turbos need to be appreciably higher than the oil pan so that return oil drains properly.


As far as single or twins go...just go with a single. Twin's are good for show but you will make more than enough power with a properly sized single turbo, have a much easier time with tuning (a big plus given how little support there is in that respect), have virtually no lag, have cooler engine bay temps, spend less money, etc, etc...
