I'll share my setup for my Gridlife Touring Cup trim turbo BP NA. Power is 225whp. In ~70*F ambient temps, the coolant temps run 180*F in clean air, 185-190*F in traffic. Oil temps 220-260*F

Radiator: SuperMiata Crossflow
Intercooler: Vibrant 12800. Intercooler has its own duct to prevent air from bypassing it with about 50% open area.
Front bumper: Racing Beat Type 2 (block offs will be added for cooler events).
Radiator ducting: OEM crash bar removed, aluminum ducting, gaps sealed with bulb seals and foam blocks. Intercooler is spaced 8-10" in front of radiator. Air can flow above intercooler duct directly to radiator.
Oil cooler: 13 row Setrab mounted where the passenger headlight assembly was. Air is fed through a modified turn signal assembly into a duct for the oil cooler. Exiting air directly into engine bay. I'm likely going to redo this to duct it out the headlight lid.
Hood vents: Custom large vents.
Birch undertray from air dam to subframe.
