rear speakers
UK/Jap LWB only think it was an option.... but standard for bose units .. i wouldnt bother trying to track down another one just wire direct from your head unit to back speakers the amp is only 25w per channel anyways your head unit will be more

rear speakers
wouldnt say so ... but u said u connected another speaker to the connection right ? ... if the new speaker didnt work that would rule out your speakers not working regardless of the amp in the car or not .. No amp but still no sound = Wire problem or main head unit starting to go funny ... check your fader option hasnt been put fully to ( front )

Relocated PTU's
i moved mine to the back of the main head light .. there is no need to cut or re-solder wires just need to strip back the outer wire covering so it just leaves you with the two water sensor wires then recover all wires in Fiber/isolation tape

rear speakers
if it has packed up ... you can take 2 new feeds from back of head unit on rear output and wire directly to speakers .. the main reason there is an amp in the back of the car ... for getting the Old head units louder .. as 10+ years ago car radios was only outputting 10w per channel at the best ... now we have head units doing 50w per channel far better no real need for the amp any more

upset / peed off / feal sick
no way of seeing that as gauge isnt plumbed in there ... but i can not see oil pressure being a problem as it wasnt with the last turbos and its using the correct restricters for tubs as supplied
