Easiest way to get your stock diff out is to drop the subframe. It's like two nuts on the diff, two nutss on the subframe, and two nuts holding that bracket thing. I used an impact and the nuts came off easy. Make sure you have a jack or something to lower the rear down tho so it doesn't simply drop lol

The nipple on your power pipe isnt "removable", its broken. You might call Japan2LA, post a "Wanted" ad in the 2nd Gen parts forum, check ebay or buy the aluminum replacement from Corksport. RotaryResurrection has one on ebay thatll cost you $18 shipped.
Or since youre unemp'd you might epoxy up a patch and plug the BPV port in the turbo intake duct and join the BOV-free club.
