What kind of engine configuration do you have?
Where you have a V engine then two turbo's can work well, with one to each bank. If you have a straight / in-line 4 or 6 then it doesn't.
It's a lot of work, and if all you want is more power then go for an engine re-map, or for even more power remap plus bigger turbo.

There isnt the room between the engine & existing turbo and the bulkhead to physically fit one. Even if you could fit it in, you would not experience much more power as the engine diesel injection timing is designed and set up to deliver the optimum performance of a single turbo.
Assuming you actually got it in, you would need to spend so much more to make the car run properly it just isnt worth considering.
If you are thinking of changing your car try the new 407 diesel coupe with twin turbos already factory fitted

Its possible but not worth the effort on a diesel

Possible but since the engine wasn't designed for those added pressures the longevity will be seriously affected
