either will work great, though you'd use a different one for a single vs twin setup.

2) I currently have a set of stainless works long tubes. i know that the rearmount will take alot of stress and heat of of the headers but i also know the backpressure will generate alot of heat. i plan on running heat extractors through the fenders if that helps. are the flanges and tubes going to be thick enough to take the heat?

I think you'll be fine with those stainless headers.

3) im also debating on running the inlet back through the interior of the car, through the firewall and straight to the carb. how hot do you think this plumbing would get? i would definately be covering with with some sort of console but dont really want too much heat soaking into the interior.

I would avoid that, no real reason for it, plus you lose the cooling advantage as the air temps will drop as it makes its way back up front. The air temps can be fairly warm leaving the turbo, staying outside the car gives more temp reduction I'd think.

4) what are the opinions on having a separate stand alone oiling system for the turbo? like a small pump and canister setup? i have some really cool heat extractor tubes that i could use.

I'd use a feed line from the engine, one less thing to fail. You'll want to get a good quality scavenge pump though, don't go cheap here; if that fails you'll have a very smoky ride...............
