passing smog in CA with mods?
Does anyone have experience trying to pass smog in a modded TT?
Do I just set my GIAC flashloader to stock? WIll it pass with my mods or am I out of luck?
I have an 01 225 roadster
Milltek exhaust + hi flow cats
EVOMS P Flow airbox
GIAC stock, pump, and 100 octane
Thank You!

You should probably put back the stock airbox. It has to pass a visual inspection,
and if you don't have a SMOG approved sticker for your airbox you can be failed for it.
Your cats might cause a problem too, but you never know.

You should only have issues with your intake visual. my car passed with a stgIII &

I know this car. You gave me a ride in it one day...so which shop?
Jeff Moss from Torque Factory introduced me to you and you took me for a spin around the block! Very nice! How are you doing?
Are you going to Laguna Seca for ALMS next weekend? I didn't know you worked for Audi! That's cool!

Yeah but
I didn't go to that one. I went to a smog check place on Olympic Blvd. near Century Park West. I went in the afternoon.. he was around my age (pretty young) and I was honest with him on the phone, told him that he'd do me a favor if he passed visual, knowing I'd have to bolt and unbolt a few things.
I'll be at Jose's tomorrow morning actually..
