Tapped a15mm 12 pt socket over it, turned out they were copper so soft enough!
Well it seems to be ok now, warmed it up the gave it a gave it a boot and didn't throw the fault code. Got 65mpg on the way back from the petrol station as well. Will have to see how it goes now!
A few faults/bodges I'm not overly happy with though. Main one being one of the pressure pipes was welded at the wrong angle, so I've had to try and bend it towards the right direction but even still its only ~1mm off the fan cowling when stationary, I'd guess touching under moving forces though. Also means the lower pressure pipe cant be bolted to it so that's touching the heatshield. Shouldn't hurt it but will probably rattle in time. Captive nut for the heatshield lower bolt is damaged (bolt won't go in) so that won't help. The fan cowl has only gone back in 3 of 4 clips, its secure enough but doesn't help clearance issues. And lastly I can hear the turbo whistle...not sure if that's just because the exhaust is clearer, or if somethings leaking.
