2003 wrx with 2007 usdm sti shortblock 03heads td04 turbo stock downpipe, stock muffler, spt intake, TGV DELETES. the tgv deletes set off the cobb accessport CEL and i always have to turn it back off. is cobb accessport even okay? this is a hybrid engine build in my 2003 wrx so i think the cobbaccessport HAS to be operating for it to run properly. will the TGV deletes and the COBB AP affect the smog check even if i have my oem turbo and oem downpipe and muffler installed properly? i think its on a custom vf34 tune still from gst even though i swapped it all back to stock. i have a smog plug / connect for as cheap as 110 so im not that worried if it doesnt pass. id just like to legally pay the 50 dollar smog check if you guys think this setup will pass first or second try normally. i have je pistons thats the only thing out of spec for the 2007 sti sb but i dont think the smog tech will notice those or if they are even an issue lol

Haha as funny as the threads have been, help him out a bit. He may not deserve it but let's be a bit better than he is. To the OP, freshrex, dude when you try to scam the hell out of the community and you talk **** about peoples cars without knowing the person or the car, you should know better than to expect people to take you seriously and try to help you out. Fix your attitude and your "baller" status because nobody buys it. You're a daddys boy. What you need to do is get off the dam cloud you're on and get your **** straight.

@ the OP. Depends on how hacked up everything is.. The CEL is an automatic fail. The more aftermarket crap a tech finds connected / laying around - the less likely they are to pass you.. As you sit now - most likely fail.
Hah.. While I agree to some extent - at some point (skill) the laws of physics take over.. Hence weight classes..

you can still pay your registration to avoid late fees.. but u will not get a sticker till u have a smog. Just and FYI, since late fees for the DMV are $$$
