You said you removed the water pump but no mention of draining the coolant. Is that not necessary? Will it need a new gasket or anything to replace?

Glad you are enjoying, thank you!
I'll dig out both charts and see if "everywhere" is as accurate as I remember and get back to you later today.
As for water pump, by remove I should have clarified that I just unbolted it and dropped it. This allows me to move it around, and access stuff behind/above it easier. It remains connected to the water hoses, as I don't want to deal with a coolant flush, nor is it necessary.
Here is the video I watched where I got the idea.
(There is a part where he talks through some gotchas after the shop part of the video.)
For the DV+ dropping the water pump is a must. For turbo inlet probably could get to that bolt without dropping water pump, but it did make life easier.
