well i cant tell u what probs ur gonna have cuz all motors are diff, mileage, wear, parts, etc. also im not exactly a turbo guru but i can tell u this. u go and they put ur car on a dyno. the then run the test. they check for 4 or 5 major thing everything else is just bs. if u go over any emissions levels you fail. i failed 4 times with my old civic. just kept going and going so that each month i would have a good inspection. but thier assholes and they dont know how to drive eather. the fucking guy almost bumped my auto civic hatch off the dyno the one day.

bribe the dude at the emissions place lol i actually was doing some upgrades to things and when i failed i brought in the recipts and they give you a two year waiver

Does anyone have a "idiots guide to bribing"?

Steps to "how to bribe"

1. Go to bank, withdraw large amount of cash
2. Go to emissions place, and fail
3. See emissions guy, take out cash and say "does this help me pass?"

[B18bEK]

So is there calculation for how much to withdraw? The worse of your car the more you have to take out?

Just move to missouri, we don't have to pass emissions here. i love it. i had a nova back about 8 months ago that i know wouldn't pass emissions and i drove that thing everywhere.

if bribing doesn't work for you or you don't wanna go that route just ask around. shouldn't be too difficult to find someone that's had emissions problems and knows a tester that'll pass you.
