Default Supercharged S2000 - how to get it to pass emissions?
Hello,

It looks like I am not going to be able to get a "friendly garage" MOT in the future. How can I make our supercharged S2000 pass emissions? It currently has a piggy back ECU and stock cat (which is probably buggered). Do you think just getting a hi-flow cat would sort it?

I have a high flow cat and have never had a problem getting my car through its MOT

You shouldn't have any problems if your ECU is programmed correctly.

I have a decat on my SCed S2000 and have been advised against running the full tune with a cat fitted due to EGT melting/degrading it. I have a conservative map that will work with a cat and pass an MOT, once I refit the cat.

Sorry can't help in that case.

No reason why it shouldn't pass now if you have a cat installed.
