Question Looking for help from individual or shop

I recently purchased a bone stock FD that was well taken care of with 46k miles and has only been driven on occasion.
Now that it is in my possession i found a few flaws that have risen due to driving it constantly over the weekend.

When i bought the car it sounded to have a small exhaust leak, after a few spirited drives, this leak has become very noticable. I dont know if its dp-turbo, turbo-mani or mani-block.

The other issue is my own fault.

I was installing the fast acting IAT sensor in preparation for a powerFC in the next few
months. I ended up breaking off the nipple of thr double-throttle solenoid. So im wanting to get the entire vacuum lines done with silicone and replacing the broken solenoid.

I need someone who can fix these two issues for me. Either a shop or an individual. Preferably someone who can work fast as my time on weekends is severely limited, or a reputable shop that i can leave the car with for about a week.

I appreciate any feedback

Rotary Performance has a good reputation but I am not sure if you want to take it that far away. Otherwise I know MZM performance in austin works on rotaries. As far as Killeen area I wouldn't trust anyone with rx7 specific work like the vacuum line replacement.

I've heard bad things about MZM, but it was related to some subie guys. Steve Kahn also has a shop in the dallas area now. Give him or Rotary Performance (rx7.com) a call. The wizard just deployed or he could've probably helped.
