The winter plans/whishes are:
- 3 bar map sensors and stage one tune
- swap my exhaust with a version made by someone who can weld better than I can. This one may wait, it's not leaking just ugly
- get yelled at for having a stack of tires in my house.
Yay, I had a good idea! (If it works out...if not that's on you for trusting a stranger on the internet) If you have the material to drill bigger I really prefer the eZ lok kits over the helicoils. Good luck and drill straight!
Something like this may be an option? It's an m6 thread repair but the insert is an m10. Ive used these in the past with success on other things I stripped

I'm running mine with no turbo heat shield. No problems yet. You have an engine cover and I don't though, not sure if you'd get more of a heat build up under the cover or if the cover ends far enough away from it that it doesn't matter.
Hate to see one of the fellow Michiganers sell the ride because of this but I get it. Good luck with the sale and hopefully the job situation turns around for you quickly.
