Since the radiator is in the back and the intercooler is up top, I think I would move the turbo up in front of the engine behind the bash bar even if I had to push the bash bar out a little. The other possibility is moving the intercooler up front and mounting the turbo above the engine. Ilm not super familiar with Miata or Subaru, so if moving it isn't possible, it still needs 100% more skid plate. That setup looks pretty vulnerable to me, and I don't live in the land of rocks. I would for sure clean that mess off crossing a dead tree.
Of course you could move it, just would have to build a custom manifold and intercooler piping and run the lines to the turbo.
Which doesn't seem like that big of a deal given everything else done.
