I don't now where you're from but up here in WA., a check engine light is an automatic fail.

no you cant pass bro in Cali ,

1) pull the code that is stored in the computer
2) route the BOV to release into the exhaust or something

The VAFC will not pass for sure. You have to be running the blue box that came with the turbo kit.

Maybe you can fabricate a cover for the BOV flange so you can remove it temporarily for the test. I was planning on doing something like that with a piece of sheet metal.

this might be a ridiculous question, but what happens if you fail smog? Are you not allowed to drive the car or can you buy a special smog permit or how does that work?

I am from michigan, a land foreign to smog testing

You cannot get the car registered at the DMV without a valid smog certificate.
