I would be worried about how close the exhaust side of the turbos are to the radiator tank. I would think a glowing red turbo that close to the tank would cook that coolant. Not trying to be negative but it is easier to address now versus later. Maybe someone that has done this before can chime in.

These guys have a really good point. At a minimum, you are going to need some stout heat sheilds between the turbos and the radiator.
