I would probably do the squire system, what with them near the rear of the car.
On Horsepower TV, they did the twin turbo setup to a 'vette and removed the mufflers, so I assume you could do the same. Have your exhaust "Y" off just after the catalytic converter, and tuck the snails up just under the rear bumper.
According to the show, the travel from the rear of the vehicle to the front was a drop of about 1 psi, but it cooled the charge almost 100 degrees, so it's a good trade off.
Other than that, I don't see how you are going to cram 2 turbos under the already cramped hood space...

PS the Stealth RT's were NA the RTTT was twined.

Yes but the rotaries are 2 stroke engines so they pull and push air more often. More turbos are capable that way. I've pondered about the eclipse TT for a while. Custom built header could support two turbos. Two cylinders per turbo (small turbos for faster spool). On the intake side you would take ITBs from a hyabusa and custom build a manifold to support them. Two TBs per turbo. Either a front mount for TTs or side mount intercoolers like on a Z32 TT. I haven't delved into the science and mathematics of it yet though. It was just a thought i had.

the ITB is honda fail. it is something that "can" in theory work but I don't think anyone has actually made it work the way they wanted outside of IRL. Especially turbo apps because you still have to have some kind of "manifold" to supply the air charge to each tb.

umm the skylines are ITB. Not sure about the GTR but I know the R34 pretty sure the R33 is.
