Default Would this work to pass smog w/ turbo?


Just curious about the pros/cons of doing this.

I live in Massachusetts, where the smog ***** have recently begun dyno testing all cars for emissions.

I really want to get the F-Max kit for my accord, but am concerned about passing smog testing.

At emission time, if I were to remove the intake charge pipe from the throttle body - route it towards the ground or something after the FMIC - and disconnect the MF2 computer & extra injectors, would the car basically then run as stock on the dyno, and thus pass emissions?

There is no visual inspection, so that's not a concern.

Anyone have any input on doing this? Good idea? Bad idea?

Kind of off-topic sorry....

I wish we didn't have visual over here in Cali! I heard they are going to have camera's set up possibly monitoring each cars smog test...I hope this doesn't come true.

I heard they might do the same here in MA to prevent someone ELSE'S car being put on the dyno and passing, but they don't even open the hood here!
