did you have your SC belt taken off as well? or does the rpm level stay out of boost anyway?

The JRSC has a vacuum actuated bypass valve that recirculates the boost in the manifold, so the engine can operate at vacuum under low load/throttle.

No, the blower belt was still installed. I was very surprised, when he ran the test on the dyno the loads applied were so small that the car never once went into boost. This was all vacuum, closed loop operation.

Depends on how much throttle you give it. You can drive around all day long without boosting.

ROFL, just standard, craptacular CA 91 octane You'd be surprised, these OBDII cars are low emissions vehicles. During closed loop operation the ecu keeps a/f in absolute check, the EGR system does its job, and the stock catalytic converters are very well made.

Another thing to keep in mind is that the guy that I went to turned out to know his **** real well. He had my car idle for 20 minutes and then ran it at 2000 rpm in park for about 10 minutes to make sure that the engine and cat were at operating temperature to ensure that the test was accurate. This is something that all shops are supposed to do, but many do not.

Bay Smog in Hayward. It's a test only station, so if you fail he won't be able to do any repairs, but the guy is very knowledgeable, he would be able to tell you what needs to be repaired for it to pass.
