Upon recent acquisition of an M2 Comp, I have observed several fasteners absent from the engine compartment (refer to the attached image), accompanied by a snapped clip close to the charge pipe. I need some advice on why these fasteners might have been removed or damaged in the past. Is it possible that they were modified and then returned to stock, or was it due to regular maintenance or servicing? Either way, I really need these fasteners replaced or fixed. Please let me know if there is anything else I can do to help.
Is there any way to find out if the crank hub has been changed already? I take assuming that exposing this part is expensive?

The poppit clips may be found on eBay. Additionally, have your charge cooler inspected; I had to replace mine this week because it was leaking from the inside.Ensure that the yellow disc within the throttle body/cylibders is covered in blue coolant. I had suspicions that mine was leaking, so I topped it up multiple times and ran the bleed procedure. On some occasions, I didn't lose any coolant, but on others, it required 200 ml or more.I failed to note that the new cooler is much better; its core is 60% larger. I also need new silicone couplers because the old ones aren't cutting it anymore. The firm from which I purchased the cooler is direnza.Im going to post some pictures later.I successfully threaded an endescope down the air flow sensor hole, and the core on the j-pipe side appeared to be in good shape; nevertheless, there was white residue and water droplets within the j-pipe side. Eventually, the leak will occur.I had a misfire in December, and the indy had to change the coil pack and plugs. I'm wondering whether it was the cause of the leaks I noticed in the charge pipe.
