Sweet $25 dollars towards the exhaust mounts.. Lol. Still trying to find a shop to custom make the exhaust (that isn't crazy). One shop quoted me $1,500 I laughed and walked out.

tried removing the IACV to rule out my issue just to see that they are pretty much already stripped and a freaking screw extractor won't even bite that crappy soft metal. Hoping to find a throttle body with sensors at a local junkyard tomorrow and just swap the whole thing out before I push my car off of the nearest bridge.

just left the junkyard and today is starting off pretty good. A 01-03 protege was recently dropped at the yard. It even still had up to date registration and state inspection stickers on it. Needless to say, I wanted to take the entire engine home to prep for a build. But anyways, since the IACV on my car is being a PITA, I took the entire throttle body with sensors and is actually in pretty good shape. I also took the coolant overflow since mine is cracked. Was going to take the MAF too, I was surprised it was still there. But I already have two now. One more wouldn't hurt. I may go back and **** that car for parts just for the hell of it sometime in the near future. I really hope this fixes my problem though. I tried snatching the EGR while I was there but was running low on time and had somewhere to be.
edit: ******* lost!!! swapped my throttle body for the one I just got with TPS and IACV already attached and the car still won't ******* run!!! I even limped it out of my driveway and drove around the block a few times thinking maybe the ECU will kind of catch on but nope, the car dies every time I come to a stop or shift too slow.

I ran my car with a missing bolt and a snapped bolt head on another bolt and she ran fine and idled perfectly. But, it is still possible
s***. I just recently replaced the WGA a few days ago with the ATP replacement along with new vacuum line, but didn't help (although it boosts much better). I keep having a super low idle as well as a distinct whistling noise whenever I let off the gas. Even when I just put it in neutral when costing to a stop the RPM's dip real low, but I don't hear the whistling then.

I know I said this already on the BaceFook but that sucks bro. Your MSP was a pretty nice example of the car. I know you also said it's fixable. Still going to go that route?
