Jspec S4 Emissions?

Jspec S4 Emissions?
I'm currently working a s4 turbo II Jspec swap on my s4 convertible and have plans of keeping the engine stock and running it through CA emissions testing. Any obstacles with this idea? Does the Jspec motor have a EGR like the US models?

None of the jspec ecu's will control the EGR solenoid, but the 'functional' test of the egr is applying vacuum manually. Thus the ecu has nothing to do with the manual test.
Although, I'm not sure if jspec housings have the egr port in the first place.
Worst case, you smog it as an S5 swapped engine and hook up the check engine light to light up and go out after a few seconds.

the EGR will fail the visual, but it has no impact at all on anything coming out the tailpipe. not sure about the turbos, but the NA's only have EGR in 5th at cruise

with an S4 ECU, you need to just rig a light that comes on with the ignition, stays on for 30-50 seconds and then goes out. most people use a timer circuit.
with a US spec S5 there is an output, so you just need to hook a bulb in the warning light cluster to it.
oh yeah the S5 warning light clusters have the check engine light.
and to get an EGR valve on your T2, you can either hope the smog guy doesn't look for it, point to something that looks like an EGR valve (the twin scroll valve might work), or use a US lower intake manifold and EGR valve.
like we said the EGR has no effect on emissions, the rotary is itself a bigger EGR valve than the valve could ever be

Someone mentioned the split air solenoid operation in 5th gear, which means the lack of one on a JDM ACV doesn't matter. You actually end up with MORE airpump airflow to the main cat because its open in lower gears.
