Jalopnik was the place for coverage, actually.

There *was* an actually competitive Miata, the "FrankenMiata", which had 
an even more ghetto setup than we did. They took the stock exhaust 
manifold, flipped it upside down, and mounted the turbo on top of it:

They set the second fastest lap, came in 4th overall, and I think won a
