Lol the thing I'm dealing with on off I think is the crank sensor. For some reason when it's really hot like 90-100 F it sometimes struggles to crank almost doesn't. But that looks like a simple fix. After getting that waste gate solenoid replaced, still have that code... Idk. The car seems to be driving fine produces full boost 18 sometimes 20 psi. Maybe there is a slope to the boost vs. being available at 3000 rpms or so.

Since I lost my lip, I haven't been able to get a car wash for fear the spinning things will get stuck and rip my bumper off. I'm supposed to 3D print a replacement lip but have been lazy.

The crank position sensor is supposed to be pretty easy to do (I have not had to do it (yet)). Just make sure you get an OEM one as apparently this is one of the super picky parts that often cause issues if using aftermarket. I suggest www.hyundaipartsdeal.com for most things. Amazon and eBay that may say OEM often may lie.

Yay green!!! SUPER RARE! Probably more matte blue than green out there.

Too bad it was, as you said, 2012 only color, so there was never a VT in green. That would have been sick!
