If you swap over the sensors and other electronics there shouldn't be any problems or issues.

The sensors are all exactly the same. A jspec harness could be used, but it's too short anyway. The original NA us-spec engine management harness should be kept for all turbo swaps regardless of where the engine came from.

How so to which statement? Using the NA EM harness? There are many threads on this, including this one: https://www.rx7club.com/2nd-gen-archive-72/s4-na-turbo-swap-details-813825/
