Well, I passed smog last month! I tested with the mods below, sans the M2 Stage III ECU (it would pass with it anyways, since the off-boost maps are the same as stock).

 

How did u pass visual? They didn't care about the mods?

 

They didn't even know what was going on in my engine bay. Also, it was a pass or don't pay station. It took two or three tries until they got it right and allowed it to pass.

 

the only type of place to get smogged hahahaha

 

so u got a notice from the dmv and had to smog it? hmm...i wonder how lucky i will be

 

I passed with flying colors.

 

Hell, the test-only guys I take it too can't find the ignition cables to get an RPM reading. I have to point it out every time.

 

Congrats Walien. Lucky they didn't nail you for your illegal differential brace

Yeah, I am surprised I was able to pass with flying colors. To my knowledge, my main cat has over 106k miles on it.

 

Why did it take several tries? Was the smog tech hitting boost or were you swapping ecus ... ?

 

I think he was in the wrong gear or something. I'm not sure, as they didn't want me in the garage. I could only look from outside the garage.

 

Oh, OK. I always walk in anyway and pretend that I didn't see the "insurance reasons" sign. If I didn't walk in and lend a hand, they'd never finish.

 

congrats, now you have 2 trouble free years ahead to add more stuff.

 

congrates man! i'm stationed in fl so no smog. Has anyone passed smog with single turbo? i know not the visual but the test?

 

Yes, I have seen someone pass with a single (from a website). It had a lengthy outline of what he did to pass (IIRC, some denatured alcohol was involved). If I am able to dig up the link when I get back from work, I will PM it to you.
