You get a CARB-tune, and everything.

I only wanted to clarify for anyone interested or that didn't know. It took them forever because of crap CARB pulled on them, from the beginning of the 2650 certification process.

I appreciate that we have the options we do. To each their own, with interests.

If the 2650 is indeed now CARB certified then that is AWESOME! I have not been following that because my plan was always to keep the 1.7L, especially after finding out at the time they were not approved yet.

I agree. I love that we have as many options that we do. It helps us preserve our platform and allows us flexibility to get things done the way we exclusively envision them.

The only time that I will ever tell anyone that they did their setup wrong is if it doesn't work. If their stuff is a slayer at their respective power level though, I love it for them and will give them all of the flowers they deserve.

I asked him to send me "his guy" and he said he didn't need one. Just pulled up, had it smogged (i'm assuming visually and the sniff test) and passed with flying colors. Was trying to find someone you could use when yours comes time to smog

Side note, can't believe it's been 2 years since CARB approval for the 2650 now....

Their test involves hooking up to the OBD2 connector and doing a visual inspection. A sniffer test only applies to MY 2001 and older vehicles.

Yeah, sorry, I am of no help to anyone in locating "a guy." I plotted out my build to work within the constraints of the OE platform and general hardware.
