Emissions
 

Does anyone know if a ZC motor would pass a emissions test? i'm in MD. And what about after i install a turbo, would that pass emissions?

just slap the stock mani back on

Should i be fine with just the ZC??

yeah most likely, as long as your CAT is good and such..

you can leave the turbo on no problem, just make sure you have no fuel managment when you do the test. Or if you have an FMU you will be fine. Actually if you are using the AFC hack, you could lean it out, but it will be tough to get perfect, especially since some states are very strict.

Is it possible for me to install a boost controll and turn it all the way down so the turbo doesn't work at all, and then for the S-AFC is there a button i can push to turn it off? or just un plug it?

Re:Emissions
 

No boost? at the emissions test the car shouldnt be making any boost on any of their machines period, and no a boost controller wont help you do that at all. The wastegate is set to a certain amount, and cannot open lower than that.

Turn the afc off? then you would run incredibly rich, (if you had the 450cc injectors) the stock computer would try to pulse them! definatly wouldnt pass.. :P If you had stock injectors, yes you could simply turn it off.

take the pin out of the actuator and use a spring to hold it open... this will certianly lower the boost to almost nil.. however most wastegates are still going to let some air go through the turbo even when wide open. im not sure how much boost it would create tho.
