In the pictures you redacted the VIN number in the 2nd pic but it is also in the first pic plain as day. If you are worried about showing your VIN, then redact it in both pictures.

I still think its a loop and I believe the MPTT controller would realize that the input and output are shorted together and should shut off. The way the switch is connected it looks like the output...

It looks like you have great access to the manifold. I would try and do it yourself first. Take your time, use heat on the bolts and PB blaster to loosen them up. Take the turbo off first since...
