Catch can is a no go. Modifying the stock PCV system. Just the Grimmspeed TMIC you may be able to pass.

Most testers will want it to look stock.

 

Some may look the other way. Just know the fines for looking the other way is more than your willing to pay, so don't expect this kind of treatment from anyone.

 

I was questioned why there was a mechanical oil pressure gauge in the engine bay. After explaining what it is and why... No Problem... But that's the ONLY item that was not stock looking.

An intercooler replacement is not a violation of smog laws in CA. I have the printout somewhere with the code section, but I kept it handy (when I was in CA) in the glovebox for that very reason. A non-recirculating BOV however, would fail the test.

 

Like Rhitter said, the catch can (ironically, since it doesn't actually hurt anything) will fail visual.

Thanks for the reply... I put on the factory tmic and will remove the cans and plumb the hoses together .. Hopefully that works...

He seem to have bypass my grimmspeed boost control the first time ... but can't bet he'll overlook it the second time....

Can any one chime in on oil catch cans and grimmspeed TMIC?

I was turned down from the visuals alone.
