Thanks for the input gentleman... got me up to speed quickly to start running some numbers and considering ideas...
One of the first ATS-V upgrades to keep intake temps down is to replace the IC pump with a ZL1, a very good pump, but was wondering if the gains realized by the ZL1 would be lost with the additional routing imposed within the Fiero.
The Stock ATS-V has 3 (Three) A2W heat exchangers in the front...a large one in the center grille and two smaller ones flanking the larger below the headlights...

Not sure if I could fit all three of the ATS-V exchangers in the front of the fiero's nose or even what the solution may be at this time. Maybe a new faux 512 nose from Amida and make use of LED turn signals and open up two additional spots for additional exchangers. Even thought about fitting an MR2 Mk2 Border nose which has lots of radiator room.
I am having thaDriver from OE rework as set of aus fiero scoops ( and subsequently I'll be opening up some of the sheet metal behind them) to significantly increase air flow into the bay...not exactly sure how to use the additional bay flow yet though:
1. Leave them open to cool engine bay (yes I know, transverse is horrible for this type of flow) with decklid scoop / vents to evac the flow 'through' the bay.
2. A2W IC exchangers
3. Radiators
4. Oil cooler
5. Some combination
IF the bay heat can't be managed I'v considered opening up a large oval passage from the engine bay, through the trunk, and through a set of opened up and hexgrilled fiberglass rear taillights similar to many modern midengined setups... but this is ALL speculation at this point...but I do know I will have to deal with a fair amount of heat back there...especially on the track.
On another note, the Saab LP9 turbo exhaust guy is a go... he's cnc'ing an LF3/LF4 flange and I'm sending him pictures and measurements every other day to get started... also won't take a dollar until he's done.
