I have been looking at running a remote twin turbo setup. What do you guys think is this even possible? IF it is what recommended way of accomplishing this without blowing something up or wasting alot of money?

The stock aluminum intake of the truck V-10 moves enough air to pull a fifth wheel rather easily, but likely not a huge amount more than that without a throttle body and some serious work. This engine was designed for durability and low to mid RPM torque, not huge mid to higher range horsepower. With ingenuity a person could turbo (or supercharge) anything, but I'm not sure you wouldn't be chasing your tail. As crowded as the lower half of the engine bay is, just the plumbing would be fairly interesting. There's some guys doing some pretty cool stuff with the SRT10 trucks mostly with superchargers.
The Viper intake manifolds are far from a plug and play setup. The port configurations are different as are the bolt spacings, the width between the heads is slightly different, and you would need to come up with some sort of filler plate to take the place of the factory lower intake manifold which seals off the lifter valley, the Viper aluminum block is tied together here with cast webbing.
If you think you can make a turbo work, consider a Gen II Viper swap, it would be about as much work I'm guessing, and the weight savings alone might be a serious score. There's also nothing wrong with and old school street rebuild, exhaust, cam, compression, valve job, advance and fuel curve.

Here's some inspiration for you from this forum:

and from the web:

Supercharger would be easier, but I say go for it, the unimaginative will always be there tell you what can't be done. Just be realistic about what you want and what you can/can't really get with parts you already have. It will in no way be easy, and you will soon run up against the limitations of your parts, but the worst that can happen is you stick a rod through a cylinder wall or out the pan. Big deal, lesson learned, you can buy these V-10 trucks pretty cheap anymore, part out what you don't need, get the engine for next to free.
