Well, I'm not satisfied with your post, it reeks of ignorance.
Even at 3.0L the Duratec engine is borderline in size to even consider a second turbo. People tout the reduced lag (misleading, it is really a lowered boost threshold that makes the difference here) but fail to realize that even though the turbine and compressor wheels of the smaller turbo are as much as 30% smaller, there is only 50% of the exhaust energy spinning them, there isn't a whole lot of advantage in that.
The only reason I would consider using a twin turbo setup in a Duratec is for advantageous packaging of proper turbo exhaust manifolds (ie short and sweet) and since that is most decidedly impossible under the hood of a contour w/ the Duratec in its stock location/orientation, I would never consider a twin turbo on a contour.
On a contour, even if you could fit a twin turbo setup, there is NOTHING it could do that a properly sized single could not do.
