What kind of boost are you running?
No not yet. These are mostly things I want done down along the road. I plan on heading all the way to Ed at EQ so if he wants to shine in he can.

Right now I'm still on my stock downpipe and OTS stage 1 map at 16psi.

Did you notice any real difference with the stage 1 ots map over stock?

Honestly I think it was a massive improvement over stock. Not just power wise but the throttle feeling felt a lot better too.

FMIC/EWG/Blow through MAF are all visual failures as far as the state is concerned. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. Take it to your tuner and have them put stock parts back on, smog it and then remod it. Good for two years unless you get a fixing ticket.

LOL. You're funny.

*You just need to be selective about where you take it. Some places are only interested in the sniffer so a stock downpipe swap is all that is needed, but I'm guessing these type of conversations are best held by PM*

*Warning - This is conjecture and cannot be used against me in court*

I was just telling him the legal route but yes your point is valid as well. Expect the lax shops to be less lax come 2013. Laws are changing as far as smog licenses are concerned.
