Well - lots of debug as expected. Found a few fasteners in rear that were not final torqued (Duhh-Ohh!). Some are nearly impossible to get at, like the Rear UCA Pivot Bolt (Axle Shaft in the way). Checked everything again to be sure. Got it aligned, and the dealer spent 3 hours getting it within my specs - within 0.1 degree! And was chasing a rear end "clunk" over bumps at slow speeds - this turned out to mostly be that the Rear Coilovers were set too harsh. So I dialed them back, and the car is now wonderful, has a remarkably smooth ride, and a riot to drive. The power with the Blower and Cam is frightening - I gotta learn to drive it cause it can boil the tires at nearly any speed when you keep the boost up. Time for some outings and local car shows.
