    Failed CA Smog: NOx Too High

    I've got one I could put on, but I don't like the sound. Too much drone. At my level of street performance, the cat is not holding me back. The California crap gas is. I put an adjustable wastegate on to turn the stock boost down.

    Failed CA Smog: NOx Too High

    Failed CA Smog: NOx Too High

    OK, I think I found the problem. I tried to "T" in a vaccum signal line from the 'Electronic Vacuum Regulator Valve" [that's what it's called; I looked it up]. When I pushed a vacuum line on, the top of the EVRV basically fell backwards! WTF?! The EVRV has 2 major sections held together...

    Failed CA Smog: NOx Too High

    I put a vacuum pump to the egr port at idle. The engine stumbled as expected when vacuum was applied. That's about all I know to do to test the egr. I guess that doesn't prove that the electronic controller box is working. I can "T" in a vaccum gauge to the line between the egr controller and...

    Failed CA Smog: NOx Too High

    Got a new cat put in. I'll run half my full tank out to burn off the coating on the brick, then take it back for the test. Thanks for all the input, and I'll let you know the results later in the week.
