Don't quote me on this but 99% sure everything will be backwards.

I don't reckon that matters. You can always use an FTO manifold & lower intake section on the Galant motor to effective 'turn it around'
I'm more concerned that there is only 1 turbo & manifold there. What happens on the other side of the motor?

I would assume a pipe would wrap around and join up to the other manifold.

The galant 6a12 has the transmission on the drivers side.

I'm not worried about the engines position more about if the manifold bolt up the same way and size as I will have to custom most of the piping any way but I want to run twin turbos mounted to the manifold like in the kit

Everything is documented and stuff so with the 6A13 you can compare, whereas this 6A12 turbo kit would be kinda uncharted waters. Plus moar gains from 6A13.
