I was talking to a tuning shop about turbo options and they told me there is no way to pass Inspection and Emissions with a turbo. My only option was to pay someone off to get it passed...

Is this true?

I really want a turbo :nails:

then i would sugest that you get a kit that is true bolt-on, that you can install and take off yourself. same for exaust. put it on after your next inspection. KEEP ALL YOUR OEM PARTS. and return the car to stock once a year for inspection. also make sure you get a p&p wiring harness for whatever engine management you choose.


...or just bribe some mechanich. :P

get certified yourself. then we can all come to you

Not always true, if you get a turbo with the inline cat it should pass emissions. Dezod offers one as an add on to their kit.

Might not pass visual inspection.
And I beleive you need the high flow cat AND rerout the wastgate back into the exhaust, but I could be mistaken on that one.

allow the guy to search your wallet in the visual inspection and youll pass for sure

:rofl: :rofl: :doh: :doh:

I know it would never pass in CA and I doubt anywere else because of the cat.

lol

I'll just put a little cash near the turbo :P

I know from experience, the few places I went, they do not visually inspect the car. It is a plug in OBD2 port pass/fail test. If there is no CEL for anything, you pass. So with a cat on the downpipe and a not-so-stringent shop, you should be fine

Now THAT is what I wanted to hear!!!
But does the can have to be in the downpipe? Can I just get a high flow cat welded into the midpipe?

Would have to be after the primary O2, but before the secondary

where is the secondary o2 sensor? for that matter, where is the primary?

Primary is practically on the manifold, secondary is on/near the s-pipe.

So doea that mean a hight flow cat in the down pipe will not help? The only place a cat will help is in the downpipe?
could I just go to a muffler shop and have them weld a cat in the s-pipe? I'm sure in the mid pipe would be easy, but in the spipe seems more difficult.
I would just get your spipe with the cat in it, but I don't think it will fit my turbo toyota's manifold.

The catted DP in our kit will solve the issue.

As long as u have both cats intact n in the stock location I don't see y u shouldn't pass. All they do is plug a scanner into ur obd2 port which reads certain perameters that ur O2 sensor picks up. And as long as the numbers r within the alotted range u pass.

So your kit is all good 2 go? :pray:

Pau:
I know, but will your catted downpipe match up with TurboToyota's manifold? Cause that's the turbo kit I'm getting.

DriverXa:
All these turbo kits come with an S-Pipe that deletes the cat.

Then you'll have to add some highflow cats then in order to be streetlegal. Or make a removable section that has the cats and swap it in when u have to get inspected :lalala:

Right, I have no problem putting a cat in. My question is, can the cat go in the mid pipe, or MUST it be in the down pipe?

you don't need a cat to pass the emissions test. As long as the CEL is off your ok. It wont pass the visual but no one looks, at least i don't.

New inspection machines only hook up to the OBD port, reads any DTCs set. I have passed a few cars with No cats at all. NY has done out with the Sniffer test on 1996+.

If you are close to Suffolk county long Island I can help you out.

Yeah, I was looking at the DMV website about OBDII smog checks and I didn't see any reason why a turbo would not pass. It's just checking for things that would set of a CEL.
Just find a place that's in a hurry and dont' pop the hood.
