Maybe a sequential turbo set up. I dont believe theres enough room to run dedicated exhuast pipes to individual turbos

Agreed its tight running one set. It could be done though. Use a kooks style dual setup and split it after the rear and run one cold side up the drivers side and one on the passenger side. Then you could mount two small vortech style intercoolers and come up to the intake but be aware that includes two oil and filter setups. Could build a tank and lube both turbos out of it. Mount the tank in the pocket on the drivers side. That's my plan for a single rear mount I just modified it for twin.

This. If there's room for over the axle TD's, then there's certainly room to run turbo's in the rear off those TD's. But.....they're gonna have to be SMALL turbo's to get any kind of response time out of them considering you're running half a motor against each turbo. This may end up limiting your power output OR you're gonna have one of those loop-de-loop powerbands with all kinds of turbo lag. Just my $.02

I could have swore that sts use to make a twin rear mount kit for the ls1 f bodys I remember reading about it on there site but i looked and i didn't see it anymore if they did i don't see why it wouldn't fit on a LT1 car .

This is one of those being different things for the sake of being different, that prob won't work all to well, theres a reason there are not many if any at all rear mount twin turbo LT1 cars.
And before BigCat comes in, I am not saying it can't be done, cause race cars do it all the time, but a street car, you will be sacrificing a ton.

STS builds a RMTT set up for the c5 and c6 if i recall, it can be done, i just dont think there is much point, you would have MAD turbo lag and have to run tiny turbos, you have a TON of oil being pumped to the back of your car that you would have to monitor, along with getting all that air back up to the front of the car, twins are cool, but you will also have to pretty much double your turbo budget, a well set up single will give you good power, pretty good spool and less work, my set up - witch i think was one of the worst built - had not bad spool and i put down a ton of power with very few issue *for a turbo build*
