Pretty much complete with "stage 1" - 5psi EWG spring. Only issue so far is the minimal clearance between down pipe and steering shaft.
Glowshift oil plate, 48" Aeroquip -3an oil feed, no restrictor

-10an oil drain. Still need a -8 to -10an fitting

2-1/4" piping. Not sure if I will intercool or go with water injection.

... and done for now (except for some heat protection). The only real issue with the install was the down pipe interference. I didn't want to bang on it but it was the easiest solution and didn't need much shaping. Also had to source a 3" exhaust gasket online.
EWG sounds pretty cool. Running sans BOV is a little irritating though.

You're ruining the flow of that coupler with the pipe. There's gotta be a better way.
I have the same coupler clamped to my inter cooler, with a 90* pipe clamped to the other side, going around the radiator. Keep that in mind for when you ditch your silly water injection dreams.

MSM I/C and piping
Some convenient tapped holes for mounting.

Upper radiator hose needs to be shortened.

Straight 2.25" al. tube used to connect to intake and for mtg of iat and bov.

Hot side piping. MSM piping can be used with some modifications.

Thought I was done - not enough clearance between oil drain and turbo outlet to install coupler.![vash](https://www.miataturbo.net/images/smilies/vash.gif)
