Yes, and the top of the piston appeared the same as those in cylinder #4 & #6, but no residue. I have a set of valve cover gaskets, so that's not an issue I can't solve in 20 minutes. Pending the leakdown test results, I will begin to fully tear down the UIM/LIM, replace the injectors with the stock 19#'s, replace the plugs with double plats and see how she runs.

I see he drilled a hole through the body to route the outlet of the turbo out of the engine bay to the front for the intercooler, right?

No, but there is a hole to route the intake from the intercooler outlet ... at the corner of the "box" next to the washer bottle

You kinda lost me there - I guess I need to look at my engine to understand. From your pics though it seem like the outlet from the compressor goes down and through the side of the inner frame rail to that cavity under the fuse box, and - from my guesses - to the intercooler inlet.
More pics man - more pics!
Or is THAT the pipe from the compressor outlet going towards the front of the car, in thr ight of the above picture??

No, it "squeezes" through, just by the hair on it's chinny chin chin between the frame rail, A/C condenser canister & frame rail "turret".

If you can take a few pics of the IC piping from the front - with the bumper off - that'd be sweet!

Considering it got "stuck and sheared off", how would I go about removing that bolt from the turbine housing without making matters worse WITHOUT a drill press? Guess I need to get a drill press, drill out the old "shank" to the same depth as the other holes and then "pick" at the remaining threads. Doing this by hand will no doubt destroy the treads if the drill bit doesn't stay put exactly where you need it.
