Default removing turbo for emissions....questions

Ok, so 4 months or so after my install, I get my emissions letter. Must be completed by 3/20.

Soo time to remove the turbo. Question is....

1) Can I leave the FMU in?
2) Can I leave the inline fuel pump in?

ummm, thats it i guess....dustin, i know you did this...what do you think?? let me know if i am missing something...

1) no
2) no

I left the IC and most of the piping in, but I took everything else out.

did that pass the visual? if i was going to do the same thing, what would i do with my fpr, hondata and upgraded fuel lines?

do you think a built engine with cams would pose as a problem if all the stock parts were put in the place of the aftermarket?

My friend said you can do the same thing here in wisconsin....but but you have to get an idle emission test. I am not sure if this will work for newer cars though. I don't know how this could be a policy, since it seem every state has laws that you can't lower your car too much. I would think they would set the minimum at the minimum for emission testing.

theres a law they are trying to pass that people with lowered cars and modified cars have to make there cars able to get on the thing but its not passed yet so the emmissions place cant do anything that might damage the car so they were told to just give out slip for 2 years , i hear that this is in affect in a couple states, so slam your cars now an take emissions and not worry for a coupel years

okay we dont have a visual out here but the actual test can be passed safely if you have a standalone, remember that there is almost no load during this test if it is the same as here, so just take out a lot of fuel, advance timing about two degrees, take out cam over lap by dialing an ls back to 0 and by separating a VTEC motor low cam overlap. set idle to 500 and bring the car in smoking hot, like after driving for an hour some tips apply some dont, also I think that a gas blend like you guys have in the US with corn in it will burn better, also use a lower octane which should burn more complete while not under load. this may be overkill for most cars.
