Which ref station is considered the easiest to work with? My car is 100% stock, save for the OEM boost gauge connection (I swapped the gauge for a Defi) and a EGT and oil pressure gauge.

I hear Livermore is good, but I'm looking for something a bit more local to SF.

 

no exp with livermore or SF area ..... but been to Fremont ref station at Wyotech and Evergreen Valley College ref station ..... both have been kind to me

 

I believe theres a state ref station in Skyline College in San Bruno. Its next to the auto shop buildings.

I haven't heard anything about them though.

 

I went to alameda. Not too sure the name of the college. He was nice and easy going.

 

Cool, thanks guys.

 

If you are stock there is nothing to worry about

 

I know, but I just don't want them to break my ***** over gauges.

 

Santa Rosa I worked with Richard, We never gave a **** about gauges

 

This is actually one of the best & helpful threads, and should be considered a sticky.

So much bias and profiling against owning/operating import, it's nice to have a good source to go to when time comes to deal with certification/ref.

+1 to OP.

 

i like alameda

 

Well. I'm scheduled for 10am tomorrow at Skyline. I'll post up my experience.

 

GL bro!!

 

Thanks.

Oh, one more thing, I flashed back to Stage 1 since the factory map sucks, should I revert to factory settings, or will I be ok with the Stage 1 flash?

 

You should be ok.

 

Well, I'm back. I passed.

The guys are Skyline are real cool, not much else to say, standard SMOG and inspection from what I could tell. Talked with a bunch of kids who are in the automotive program about my car and stuff. Good times.
