Looks like a monster, but the little details if not fixed will become big ones.

yeah pretty poor show letting you leave with such a stupid issue, take it back, the pipes need moved
Re: just got mr2 back from Xxxx @ mr2developments
That looks a beast..! Be interested to know spec / power.
Pipes wont be hard work to adjust in order to not hit the underneath of the lid.
Alternatively get an ASK SPORT STYLE engine lid fitted from Carben Creations it will IMO suit the car and give you plenty of space under the engine lid.
Cheers

I was thinking something like that but wanted to keep the oem lid as fibreglass and carbon never last

Re: just got mr2 back from Xxxx @ mr2developments
can you not sjust turn the chargecooler round a bit so it's on its side?? the water should be under a bit of pressure anyway so should be ok failing that, get 90 degree adapters and pop the on, it would stop the hoses protruding.
Re: just got mr2 back from Xxxx @ mr2developments
Looks okay, what do the air scoops connect to on the inside of the engine bay?

Xxxx said its not good to do that as air bubbles can get traped

there would need to be air in the system to have air bubbles, there shouldn't any air at all

Your charge cooler should never be the highest point as that is where air will collect. Where is the pump and what way does it pump?
Your highest point should some sort of swirl pot with your fill point and pressure cap.
