Coming from building Audi's this is cheap.
The only things to fab are the harness, the intercooler piping, the downpipe/exhaust and the transmission solution, everything else bolts up. I don't want to use any of the factory harness. I'm not swinging my dick, I'm just not an idiot/newb to (fast)cars and have access to other inputs from industry professionals but it's obviously nice to have input from the turbo miata community as well.
I'm starting development with a well known company that specializes in making parts to adapt transmissions to other engines this coming week. I hope to have a solid solution by the end of the month. We'll see.

I can have a better trans for less money than their kit. Finding a trans solution isn't that hard. Take a look at how many other platforms adapt transmissions. All comes down to will and knowledge.

They aren't terribly high priced.
Just as a point of interest, a bellhousing already exists for the T101 or Muncie style transmission to the BP engine through Lakewood or someone. Can be purchased through Summit Racing.

Just to give you guys an update I'm now looking at the CD009 Nissan transmission. It weighs about 125 lbs, heavier I know, but can support 1000+ whp, is a 6 speed and can be had from junkyards for $500 or less sometimes. New from Nissan it's only $1800.
