Nope.. The obd2 cars have a interface port that the emissions place uses to check your car.. Any obd1 ecu isnt going to talk to that port..

You can just swap out the ecu for the stock one and run through emissions.. I used to swap out the ecu in the parking lot of the testing center..

After swapping the OBD-2 ECU back in, you have to drive around awhile. There's a couple readyness codes that have to be good, otherwise they'll fail you. Same thing if you try an ECU reset in the parking lot before the test...

But I guess that depends on how they run the test, & that's different in different states.

unless all your turbo parts have carb #s I would assume you wouldn't pass a visual, if you have one in your state, you will probably have to take the turbo off to pass and get an obd2 ecu. don't know for surre though
