the o2 are in weird spots, usually they are in the header

also, i dont see an o2 in the downpipe that will be needed for the wideband, so i would get one welded in before you put this kit on your car

Yes i noticed the same thing and the rigth manifold looks like be facing to the back i don't know why but it going to sacrifice more space in the engine comparment. I won a bid relly cheap so i can sacrifice to put some work on it.

What turbo you think i can use safe with a stock motor factory internals?

There are a couple guys running that kit...not as many as the PTK thought, it seems. Do a search for Phamspeed kit and you should come up with some good stuff.

Im running a masterpower t70 on it. The wastegate discharge tube wont line up at all so you can forget about recirculating it. Plan on buying solid motor mounts because you will melt the stocks or polys. My o2 on the passenger side needed placed elsewhere because the existing one hits the starter.
