Configuration doesn't matter too much, just need a lot of displacement.
Re: Tips for making engines with a lot of torque?
EDIT:
like cobaltgirl said, what do you mean by a lot of torque? For more torque in general, bigger displacement. An engine with more torque than hp use longer stroke and a low cam profile. More torque for a small size? A fast spooling turbo with the right cam profile will do the trick.

Nobody?
Anyway. I reccomend using VVL for engines with torque, because you can have low end pull without the sacrifice of high end performance. Set the Cam profile low and the VVL profile high. Then profit.
Re: Tips for making engines with a lot of torque?
Also low AR ratio means the spooling up is easier, sure, but it also means the resulting boost is lower, so that'll rob you of max torque.

2. Good airflow (multivalve, well breathing intake and fuel system, tube headers, variable valve system)
3. High compression ratio
4. Relatively small, quickly spooling turbo with good intercooling
5. Optimized cam setting; high for absolute maximum Nm, low for wide torque curve
6. Air/ fuel ratio on the rich side
