My next question is what is maintenance like on this vehicle? Does it require lots and usually how long does the turbo last?

Thank you for posting the pictures!
It looks pretty clean. However, that aftermarket BOV may not have been installed in an ideal way - please post some close-ups of that area of the engine and I'll provide you with some suggestions.
The oem auto transmission works fine for either a bone-stock application or for
BPU (modest upgrades). If you're planning to put a big single turbo on it (>600rwhp), you'll need to upgrade the transmission.
For a $50,000USD+ GT sportscar, maintenance is very affordable. However, don't expect to pay what you'd pay to maintain a Camry.
If you keep the boost levels at stock and you maintain it properly, the oem twin turbos should last well past 200,000 miles.
