ok i got this idea the other day but dont know if its possible... if i were to get a turbo, before i went in to get it smoged, is there anyway i could temporarily disable the turbo so it would pass? like can i take a part off that will disable it, so the turbo has nothing to do with smog?

 

Dude, they pop the hood and do a visual inspection. They will notice a turbo.

 

I KNOW! You could use some invisible spray paint! h:

AND, just click the turbo switch to off.. that should work.






:chuckles:

I've been trying for about an hour now not to say anything... but I couldn't resist.

 

Exactly. Unless you have a CARB exempt(read: stock GReddy) kit, you are not going to pass the visual, regardless of what your emissions numbers are.

 

It's too bad you don't live in MD - no hood poppin' out here, they could care less. You could have 5 turbos under there whirring away, but as long as you fall under emissions specs, you're A-OK.

 

Oh yeah, Too bad you dont live in florida where they have no hood poppin or emission testing, they could care less if you had a few toxic waste barrels burning under your hood.

 

CA has the worste smog laws, but we also have the worste air

 

PHUCK THIS SMOG SH!T....anyone know what the going rate is for an illegal smog check?

 

w3rd :thumbup:

 

Well it's not much of a smog check if it's illegal, now is it?

I'm curious, why do they do a visual inspection when doing a smog check? If the numbers are kosher... why does it matter?

I'm not very familar with smog testing... I don't know what or IF we have any of that here in pennsylvania. h:
