Unhappy Airpump to Cat directly?? without ACV is possible??

Hi! I need to pass emissions test in Spain and I failed first test.

Now I bought a CAT and I have the airpump, but I don´t have the ACV... So... the question is:

Is it possible to use the airpump directly to cat, and decrease carbon monoxide?? I must pass the emission test in idle and 4000 rpm.

(sorry my bad english)

Thanks!

Yes, you can... just run a hose down there with the check valve that's in the hard line by the cat. You can also jump two terminals in the relay box so that the airpump runs full time, and it helps. I'm sorry though, I forget which two terminals but it's Google-able.

When the emissions test is over remove it. You will probably overheat the cat if you drive around like that for a long period of time.
