Right now have all emmissions removed. I have to pass emmisions next summer if I want to drive again. I could put on the air pump and use one or two very large cats or would it pass better with a streetport, standalone, and a new turbo? I know the streetport is worse for emmissions but I could tune it a little lean and stuff just to make it passs emmisions then tune it back. What do you guys think?

you need a cat, the airpump, and a working acv and it should be ok. the port doesnt help. but if you can play with mixture you should be able to get it past

Thats how we did it in New York. I knew they inspection guy and he would use another car for the emmisions test.



You must have a friend that knows a guy that has a friend that has a cousin that can do it for you.

Is the ACV what controls the amount of air going into the exhaust or is it for the EGR?

You can pass the sniffer by running alcohol. You dont need an air pump or a cat at all. Just run a liberal amount of alcohol through it and youll pass with flying colors.



If you have a visual inspection however, youll need that airpump.

Yep..Like Peng said, just us it for your fuel.

However be sure to get it al out of there when youre done because it will eat through fuel line if it sits in there for too long.
