Wired in ~2010 blue tooth steering wheel controls to the ~2016 radio in my 2004 RS 😂
Adding a 3000 ohm resistor brought the button resistances close enough to function as designed on the newer system.
Finally started removing cams, got everything loose but can’t figure out how to wiggle caps loose. More reasearch I guess.
Use tongue and groove pliers (channellock) to grab the caps on the sides and rock them back and forth. That's the way I was shown and do it anyway. Be gentle though aluminum is soft.

thanks , that’s what I ended up doing after I walked away from it and came back with a clear head and now their out and stored away.
Removed cylinder head and I’m glad I did all this preventive measure because I found a metal shaving from the stripped stud issue.
Sorry it sorta doesn’t come in right in the pic.
rest of the block and head look great just needs a good cleaning.
Got the turbo and other bits all installed and everything torqued down !! My repairs worked yay lol.
added some gold foil, maybe it will help? Few more things still left to do
I've used helicoil/etc many times. They work great!
Since last posting on the thread, I've added a strut tower tow hook, e85 sensor/gauge for flex fuel, went back to 17x9.5 RPFs that I'll be selling soon LOL... After the tires are done and I have the new rear control arms. Purchased X front calipers.
Alcantara cover for the steering wheel, roll bar, maybe, back to a stock turbo. Repainted the front end. Installed a Weir 12 plate rear diff, CF driveshaft. Man, I've done a lot LOL
There's more ,but I can't remember.
