Sweet Baby Jebus though, it's smooth now.
LIKE BUTTAH.
And I don't even have my sway bars in yet!
Up next: getting to work on the intake/exhaust. Think I'm staying with the stock turbo for now, but PnPing it and the rest of that jazz. Got my die grinder and a carbide tip, just need to pick up some flap wheels and cross buffs of various grits.
Thanks again to BrendanTheGreat for getting me a great deal on the parts, and SpeedElement for doing what they do, and damn well.

I drove it and hit 1.37 BAR pulling onto the freeway and hit 65, rather fast.

Fiddled with my roof system and cut my Thule LB's down to exactly 50" using my new DeWalt Sawzall toy and then went on a couple freeway drives with keys in hand to try to fine tune the front crossbar to cut down as much road noise as possible and gain back some sun roof visibility. Decided I may just throw this setup @ Lil'Bro/Lil'Bro'sWife for their surfing and get myself something nicer. Talked to Joey @ InfamousFab about the idea of shaving the rails like a couple peeps on SF.org did and make some sick custom deal with included tower mounts.
Spendy version but we always come up with some sweet setups.

Started to get a bit of a rough idle, so I cleaned the IACV with the help of these threads from nasioc:
My IACV cleaning writeup - NASIOC
Cleaning And Reattaching The IACV (Idle Air Control Valve) - NASIOC
Now all is well
