OK...... so im in this stupid situation.....

The car is reg to my uncle, but now he want to give it to me. my aunt suppose to tell my dad that i am going to the dmv today but she didn't (or he forgot) ....... I just install my vf34 turbo and injector on saturday (i really dont want to pay 300 bucks again to unstall it). I have that plus full catless and cobb stage 2.5.

NOW the question, can i just swap the downpipe to exhuast and pass the smog test?

HELP ME

 

I'd swap the full turboback back on. The ECU/turbo/injectors shouldn't make much of a difference as long as you have all the cats. You can almost certainly skip the uppipe.

 

Nevermind....family transfer requires no smog check (and no tax!)

AHHHH........ crap that suck.......... i went there at the morning. So i did all the paper work just the smog check is left. Do i need to change the map aswell?

BTW if that is true......my uncle pay 355 for the tax

 

Did you read my second post? That link shows you that there is NO smog check required, and NO tax paid. Just some paperwork.

 

well....... it's too late already... we did the paper work plus pay the tax too.

Do i change the map or just leave it?

 

Leave it. Otherwise I'm sure you'll run rich/weird with the STi injectors and a stock map.

That sucks about paying the tax...but it's not your money! hahahah

 

i dunno about the money thing HAHA........ i think im going to pay him back some how, it dont seem.......right

thanks for the info MAN! going to get it smog asap

 

why are you going to smog it when you don't need to?????

 

they said i need to when i tranfer the pink slip or it wont be complete. sucks for me $500 bucks down the drain for this crap

 

yeah sucks...ne type of family transfer, all you have to do is pay the transfer fee and fill out the statement of fact form for dmv...no need to do smog or pay ne such fee....hope things work out for ya though

 

I would be willing to bet that if you went back you could explain the situation and get the tax refunded. At least I could.

 

werd, we're talkin about a few hundred bucks... not $5. there's no way i would NOT ask for a refund.

 

OK... i ask the tech that was fixing my car about the family thing. inorder to do that we need to have the same last name which we dont, so yea i suck.

12hrs of hell i went threw today. took 2 smog test to pass i didn't eat, my eye hurt my foot hurt and im very dizzy right now.......... plus i need to go back to the dmv tomorrow ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

BTW if you have the same set up as mine you just need the stock downpipe midpipe and a legal exhuast to pass.
