Default Trouble with inspection. Please help!

Hey guys I am in great need of maybe some advice from people that live in the same area and have similar state inspection laws.

Ok so my dillemna is THIS. In a couple weeks the car will be together again and the inspection was due a month ago. Its turbo'd with an AEM EMS, big injectors with a resistor box, and all sorts of shit has been yanked out of the car including the air pump. Will I be able to pass if I can just throw the cat back on, put the stock computer back in, and use some smaller injectors temporarily? I have no idea what kind of bearing the resistor box will have on the situation but this has proved to be a potential PITA indefinitely. Please do not advise me to sell the EMS for freaking pro lol. I know several of you guys had to have ran into this problem at one point or another and Id love to know how you coped with it, prefferrably not by returning the car completely back to stock. Any advise or shared stories of similar encounters will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

-Brennen

without the air pump you will throw a CEL when using the stock ECU, so no, you won't be able to pass inspection.

Bren,

We almost in the same boat, I'm glad I'm keeping my air pump.

I used to get my 99GSR "ninja passed" @ a local place in Charlotte. I won't mention names or locations here, but maybe you could find a place local if you tossed a 20 or 2 their direction they'd pass it.

Jesus...I'm going to get reported for making suggestions that are illegal
