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

the ticket still haven't arrived yet, it's about to be 3 weeks. I hope the officer came to his senses and that there were bigger fish that day so he tossed mine away 
lol, i think the guy was looking for it. I was wondering why he had his head stuck inside my engine bay for so long.
well, the officer reffed me to modified emissions 25716(b) (illegal polluter?? wth...) as for the cb it's a fujitsubo power getter with a helix catted dp
and as for putting the stock ebc back on, i hope i can just put that on and do a quick stock flash on the ap. i will change it back when i get this over with
