OK just for argument's sake, could you theoretically pass smog with ANY turbo if you turned the boost way down? THis was proposed to me by a friend...I think he may be right, but my argument was that you'd run WAY rich and fail it that way...but if you had an SAFC and bothered to tune it all the way down with the boost I guess it'd work. In theory, though, if you were running a little on the lean side, couldn't you still pass with even as much as 25psi? Emissions just checks for the complete burning of the gasses, correct? and measures the partial burns that give CO instead of CO2?

P.S. I theory all our cars should be giving off is CO2 and H2O, as anything will give off if burned completely, especially 8 carbon chains found in higher "octane" gasses....CO is just a bi-product when the reaction does not completely take place
