Heading to the State Ref *sigh*

Hey Guys,

About 2 weeks ago I got pulled over by CHP for speeding and modified emissions. Now I have to convert some power mods back to stock (luckily I never got pass stage 2) and head to the state ref to get it signed off.

Removing the catted downpipe and cat-back is a piece of cake. The only thing I'm concerned about is my Hallman Manual Boost Controller, and switch back to the stock 2 port solenoid. Has anyone had any experience replacing these? I had Ed from EQtuning install this for me, so I have no idea how difficult it'll be to switch back.

Thanks,

Jon

Look up the install instructions on Hallman's website and do the reverse.

You cant just switch back to the stock EBCS without any tuning.
