#3672, "Duping MD (or any tight state) inspection w/turbos"
Theoretically, in MD (or anywhere) you cannot pass inspection with anything in the exhaust modified, right? My question is if, in a coupla years, I wanted to sell my car, would it pass with a 16g turbo on it assuming I took off the obvious stuff, replaced the heatshield and limped it over to the inspection station? Normally i'd say no right away, but it is a mitsu turbo and it isn't gonna have any bling (polished compressor housing, for example).
Can something like DSMchip replace the function of the S-AFC? If the front bumper is cut up for a front mount, if I put a side mount back on temporariliy will the car still fail? I'm just kicking this around to avoid potential headaches down the road (i.e. do I want to sell my T-25, should I wait and get a larger turbo, etc.)
It might just be easier to flow a shady mechanic a couple hundred bucks, but when I sold the GS I ran into more problems from "being stupid like whoah" then I care to repeat.
