I'll take 2, 4, 6, & 7.
I've never heard anything bad about the Black Magic electric fan from Summit or Jegs. Thats the best way to go.
A chip for $15 is a hoax IMO. If it were real it would be somewhere around $300 and up.
There are plenty of threads on some custom cold air intake jobs, cutting a hole in the front wall and leading the filter to the front of the car.
Castrol GTX.
Edit: Heres a good intake thread. Check the 2nd gen archives. https://www.rx7club.com/forum/showth...threadid=36934

I'll take 3 and 5.
A manual boost controller is like a valve that you control by turning one way or the other. It bleeds boost from the wastegate which in turn causes the car to add more boost. Yes, you can make one. But the manufactured ones are inexpensive.
Yes the tire will fit. But I would recommend a 35 series and maybe shaving the inner edge of the fender, the part that stick out toward the tire. I have problems with that with my 17's.

Well as long as the cone filter fits on the AFM you should have no problem with any intake. For S5s I believe you don't need an adaptor because you sort of have one stock. Take a look at it.
