They still plug in to the OBD but don't require it to pass. I would still go to the emissions place and ask if they require OBD testing.

BTW you can't turn down boost just with a boost controller. Whatever the rate is of the spring that is in the wastegate will be your floor for boost pressure, you actually have to change out the spring.

This has been covered, but thanks anyway

I'll check on it. I know that they don't do a sniff test on newer model cars with OBD2. After emissions, I get a readout of all the pollutants just by them plugging into the obd2 port.

If it were me, I'd ask some local tuners if they know a place that accepts cash payment for emissions testing... read between the lines...

or you can just find a shop that will do it with another S2K and not have to worry about removing anything

how did you get a good tune with-out ems? i want to keep the factory managment but it seems like the only way to get the most out of your car is ems (which seems like the only way, why spend $$$ on a kit that isnt performing to its potential)
