they typically test at a sustained 15mph and 25mph, you're not in boost and if you can tune worth a damn, you'll pass with better numbers than stock.
would you like to see my last results?

My car would pass the CO test:
Test Process
- An inspector guides the vehicle into the inspection lane and performs a brief safety check, enters the vehicle identification number (VIN) into the computer and makes a visual inspection of required emissions equipment. Customers go to an enclosed waiting area from which they can observe the inspection.
- The vehicle is positioned with its drive wheels on the dynamome
ter, allowing it to be tested under actual driving conditions. A fan is positioned in front of the vehicle to simulate wind and keep the engine cool throughout the test. During the driving simulation, emissions are collected from the tailpipe and analyzed. On the basis of emissions data, some very clean vehicles receive a "fast pass" while others have to be tested for the full four-minute cycle.
An automatic "second chance" test is provided for vehicles that fail by a small margin. If the vehicle fails within 200% of a pollution limit, the computer will instruct the inspector to run a second test. This is done to minimize the chance that a vehicle might fail simply because of an anomalous situation. For example, the vehicle may fail because it was not sufficiently warmed up. - The vehicle is moved off the dynamometer and the gas cap seal test is performed. The customer is given a Vehicle Inspection Report detailing the test results and the inspection fee is collected. If the vehicle passes (and most do) you will be given a "Vehicle Inspection Report" when the emissions fee is collected. If the vehicle fails, you will be provided with a list of local repair facilities ranked by emissions repair success and a computer report providing useful information to assist the repair technician.

You do realize there are lots of factory turbocharged cars, right? You're going to have to make sure to have a better tune, but there's no reason your car shouldn't pass the sniff test if you have a good catalytic converter installed and a good tune.

I don't mind wrenching on my car every 2 years to pass emissions if it means my view of the mountains isn't interrupted by terrible smog and there is still wildlife living in my backyard.
