those are some wicked awesome casting marks. You should nickname the car Draco. LOL -
I made my own adjuster for the rear (wagon) using the white Koni adjuster and the black protector cap from a strut. Below are instructions accompanied by photos. 1st: Use a small screwdriver to pry out the insert from the white adjustment knob 2nd: Use a drill/drill press to put a rough hole the size of the insert tab into the black shipping protector cap. Use a hobby knife to cut out the remaining plastic. NOTE: I used a paint marker to transfer the shape of the semicircle and trimmed the black plastic to this template. 3rd: Press fit the insert into the protector cap 4th: Use electrical tape and wrap the black piece to the adjuster knob

Thanks to this writeup, I now have a new Beck/Arnley cv boot kit from Advance Auto installed on my ride. Saved me $340. I don't count tools as an expense BTW, if you are in a bind, you can use duct tape successfully. I packed mine with grease and changed out the duct tape every couple days and it survived about 500 miles with ample original grease packed with the bearings.

Zero boost? Have you inspected the turbo? That's a big indicator that it is dead. -

I think you did a good diagnosis. Hope for the best on the leakdown test -

I'll add this to my other comments: How's your turbo inlet and intake manifold gaskets? Check the TB-intercooler hose too. -

Has it been leakdown tested or compression tested? Is the timing correct? -

Removal of injectors is very simple. Be sure to use safety glasses and have shop rag to absorb fuel from around the injector if the car has been operated recently. They are held in place with a retaining flange that bolts to the fuel rail. I believe it is a torx bit. Take great care when removing them, as they may strip easily if using a standard driver - a small impact wrench or driver might do this better. Swap the [injector] with another one and also inspect the screen for clogging. I noticed when I pulled mine I had a few specks of material on them. I took the filter screen off and carefully removed the material. -

FWIW I had "good plug" that was actually bad. It was easy to miss if you weren't looking for it. It doesn't take as much time as you'd think to take out the plugs once you get around to doing it.
