Dealer only has 3 and said the last one is a week out. Should I change all but cylinder one? I think I will be okay with three considering #4 cylinder is the one that scorches.

Original bolts with a turbo the last 8k miles and no issues. Just check your oil every fill up.

I would just wait but my car has to be up and running pretty quick here. I am putting a supercharger on it and just want to be safe.

IIRC the new oil jet bolts lower the oil pressure so they open at a lower pressure.
IMO it is best to have all 4 bolts of the same type to avoid starving the one with the highest opening pressure from oil at lower rpm / pressure.
