there is no difference in gas and diesel turbos except for size
it could be a tow truck but say you are towing 6-8k lbs. on a 6% grade for 1-2 hrs. straight, if you have a front mount turbo on a gas motor, EGTs will more than likely get too high.
on a diesel truck egts are just naturallly lower but the temps at which failure occurs is lower as well, compared to a gas engine
under certian conditions it could over heat but normally it wouldnt

I would have said yes though. I wound up going with twin garrett t04B turbos, on the stock 6.0.

Can you start your own thread with pics, specs, and details of what your building? Sounds like fun!! Would love to check it out.

Yes, I plan to. I have most of my parts on hand, but I am short 2 flanges, and the only supplier I found for them chose to be closed/ignore phone calls this whole week. 
As of right now, all I have accomplished are flipping my stock manifolds. I can't go any further without the matching manifold flanges to build with. It's gonna be real simple...a short up pipe off the manifold outlets, with the turbo sitting on top, and the wastegate in between. Then the downpipe will come off each turbo, the wastegate dump will join into the downpipe, and it will route down by the firewall. I am hoping to be able to route my oil drains from the turbos into the valve covers and use a small shield underneath to prevent interference from oil splash off the valvetrain. This will prevent the need to drop the oilpan on a 4wd truck.
Once this stuff is in place I will mount my IC and make the piping from a universal kit and/or universal bends. Then I'll call up Nelson and get a tune and hopefully some injectors. I already have a walbro in-tank. I'll probably run a basic coolingmist.com water/meth injection kit, as I have had good success with them on my rx7s.
Since I am not a good welder, I am going to cut and tack weld the pieces in place and then carefully remove them, and take them to get welded professionally. When they get back I will either wrap the exhaust components and run turbo blankets, or I may ceramic coat. I will also powdercoat the compressor housings, valve covers, and IC piping, I can do that stuff in-house.
I do still need to buy a blowoff valve, though.
By the time the hot parts and IC work is done, I'll have about 2000 bucks into that part of the kit. I have already done the 05+ e-fans for some extra clearance to run IC piping, and that ran around 400 with the fans, nelson harness and PCM program.

Synergy twin kit....
We already got you guys covered. Matter of fact we are testing the system right now. Using twin Garrett ball bearing turbos, front mount in the engine bay, and full size IC. Boost comes on strong a fast so far. Will run off of the current truck manifolds and can use full 3" downpipes.

are you making different stages like dif turbo size's, intercoolers, ETC
And how much are we talking about??
