It won't pass EMISSIONS?


i know... I'll need to swap them back but that's not too big of a deal. Ok, so far this is what i have

A stock A4

Ok, now this is what i'm going to be putting in at the same time as the Test pipe.

Neuspeed 1.0bar performance chip
Neuspeed 5.0bar Fuel Pressure Regulator
Denso IK22 spark plugs
Walbro 255LPH Fuel Pump
Looking for some injectors (talking to a buddy at Kragen)
Also looking for a custom cat-back exaust.

SlowB5 is right on. Also I've heard the Neuspeed chip sucks. Find a local APR or GIAC dealer (depending if you want a K04 or GT turbo in the future, I want K04). AFAIK most chip upgrades (only) do not require FPR. You will need a Bosch 710 or Sport 110 BPV or one of the over priced blingy aftermarket ones.

When we're dynoing my car, we're dynoing with a series of different combinations of parts, to show exact power gains:

- Stock with Test Pipe
- Exhaust/Hard Inlet Pipe/Test Pipe
- Exhaust/Hard Inlet Pipe/APR Stage I/Test Pipe

So we'll see how it turns out.

yeah some places have smog, others have it where you hook it up to the diag., and others just have safety. Not sure about new york. We have emitions that cost 30.00(free for me because im an inspector), how much do they cost in ny?
