This plumbing isn't finished, but shows the simple location of the coolant pipes. The 1.25" aluminum tube will be bolted down with a couple of P clips.

Air inlet goes to a pocket under the cowl, complete with drainage tube. The air can be sent wherever it's wanted.

The slotted hole at the bottom allows fore/aft placement of the pedal. It bolts into the stock Miata gas pedal location.

There's a low pressure zone at the back of the hood that will draw a lot of air from the engine.

Lots of room for the water line. The aluminum connector will be p-clipped to the shock tower.

Hot water exits the back of the block and straight into a swirl pot. Note the shave job on the intake. The support bar has since moved spots.

.083" is fairly tough to bend by hand. A couple of the vents need some fine tuning. All in all, a good add.

I can see the turbo through the vents. They may end up powder coated black. Right now they're just raw laser-cut aluminum.

The hood will lift up and out. Alternately, the hinge can also lift back and out which is what is needed for the trunk.

Closed. The mounts are U channels, and their size and length can be adjusted as needed.
