Hurry up and graduate and mod.

Long story short, I was able to get the bolt out by grabbing at the three shear failure points with angled long nose pliers and gingerly twisting them for about 20 minutes. At the end of the day, I finally got it started. https://i.imgur.com/IWaqQuL.mp4 Funny thing... the second time I started it up, it ran fine but the power wire on the starter rotated when I shut off the engine. This caused the power wire to touch to the control wire and make the engine turn over continuously until I could find a 10mm socket to disconnect the battery. I also replaced my ratty old steering wheel with a wood steering wheel.... might be a bit crooked. I fixed that later. You can see my wideband gauge in the vent too! Got a tune from Aaron to account for the downpipe and turn up the boost! Gotta love a big red button. I got a tip that a chair leg tip seals off my deleted PCV inlet nicely. When I did a few pulls for datalogging, I blew off an intercooler hose going uphill in the dark... that was alarming.. After the manual swap, I got down to finally putting in the headliner that I reupholstered when replacing my sunroof. Many many thanks to @babyclaude for shepherding me through this process. I took three trips to fabric store to get the right look. I went with a pattern called "Pearl Gray Bernegat Plaid". I did this over the summer and finally reinstalled it in December.
