He has the plenum because this is to be a boosted engine.
To answer your question regarding your setup with my $0.02, you should definitely have an intake. You want as close to ambient air as possible entering your engine. Anything drawn from the engine bay will hurt your performance compared to ambient air no matter what.

Hopefully you can keep it close to the turbo. Mine ended up a ways back and was boost creeping with a 50mil gate. Luckily there was enough room to swap a 60mil in the same spot and it did the trick. Cars looking really good too..

Cheers for the comments guys. Its ground to a halt at the moment. Too many customer things going on.
Also still considering what size throttle body to use. 80-90-100mm??? think as this is a track not drag car the 100mm will be too big. 90mm seems to be a common size used. However a good quality 80mm body will flow over 700hp. may be try a few see what gets best results.

Cheers for the comments people,
Work on the fuel cell
I got a diffuser through today. No brakets tho same but it was a bargin so wohoo!!
Anyway i made it sit a little lower that it would usually.
I'll be finishing the exhaust in the next few days. The turbo has gone off for inspection today possiblely a change on the rear turbine housing. Info to follow.
Finalised the exhaust system now to suite the ground effects
New mid section:
