It may look funny, but we have done extensive testing on different intake lengths to find the optimal length. This placement also allows the ABS to stay in place.

Trying to hold back from asking 1,000 questions haha... I'll just wait to see how things pan out, seems like you guys will figure everything out in due time. Looks very promising so far!

Our car pictured actually has power steering. The factory K pump is relocated down to the A/C compressor location. We've discussed adding A/C to the car as well, which will require us to rework some things. The stock power steering pump location will interfere with the throttle body so we are looking into our options to run both A/C and power steering. In the Miata, we install a smaller compressor in the factory location, and then run an electric power steering setup under the dash. The E30 has more room in the engine bay, so keeping both stock units is likely possible if we can position them well on the engine.

We got the car on the dyno last night! Our very simple OEM combo made 234whp, 190wtq, rev limiter at 8600 rpm, although we'll probably shift at 8300 on track. It's a K24A2 bottom end, with a K20Z3 head. The K20 head flows lightly better than the K24 head and is worth less than 5 hp on this engine, but it was what we had available.
I took it around the business park afterwards and it's a riot. Oil pressure was constant at 90+ psi. The AKG engine mounts also feel amazing. It feels like a factory car. Power steering works like stock and feels perfect. Overall I'm thrilled with our execution of this swap, I don't think it could have come together any more nicely. Here's a link to the dyno video on our facebook page.
