In Jay's defense (I've never met the guy or done any business with him) creating work instructions take an exorbinant amount of time.

People here have been pushing for the Elise turbo kit and there has been a lot of pressure on the release of a quality kit. He decided to take the trade-off between the release date and the completeness of the documentation.

I think this was a good decision as I figure anyone that wants to get a turbo kit for a car that isn't even 2 years old better have some mechanical knowledge or know what they are getting into.

As for the thermal nightmare... air is actually an excellent insulator. In my opinion, that setup will be acceptable (not optimal) as long as the Elise is moving. Cool air is drawn from the ground up creating a low-pressure area behind the back window sucking hot air out of the engine bay.
