Im able to flash TWRP and boot into it but then I have to re-flash the boot.img to get back into android.
It seems I cant have TWRP and boot.img working at the same time.

I just looked at the guide in your footer, I'm guessing I lost my TA partion :(
There was no mention of that on sonys bootloader unlock info page.

I finally got it.
To get into recovery I had to use the command: fastboot boot TWRP-3.1.1-lineageos-karin-20170520.img
I was then able to install superSU

And the guide I read on flashing the recovery said to use this command: fastboot flash boot TWRP-3.1.1-lineageos-karin-20170520.img
That was flashing the recovery to the boot partition!
The same guide said to hold both vol+ and vol- to boot into recovery, that's why I was having such a hard time.
