Few engine modifications are legal in CA. Even normal repairs can be difficult. I routinely have trouble ordering parts off the internet where Amazon or some other retailer will not ship the parts to CA. Not performance parts, normal parts. Sometimes even OEM parts. Very annoying.I am not too surprised to see this. What is surprising is that California did not catch this first.
So Government and EPA officials said just before they drove off in there 15mpg surburbans with VW emissions tune
CARB busted them in 2016I am not too surprised to see this. What is surprising is that California did not catch this first.
That has to do with diesel engine that have D.E.F. injection systems that uses fluid to breakdown exhaust particulates. You can bypass the system and make huge power. Good read here: https://www.hardworkingtrucks.com/exhaust/"The software would stop catalytic converters, particulate filters and other emissions controls from working."
I understand how a tuner might stop "other", i.e., electrical based items, from working but how on earth does it stop a catalytic converter and particulate filters from working?!
They have already busted Cobb (in 2016) and a smaller tuner (Evans, 2017).This is stupid as shit.
Meanwhile we continue fracking, offshore drilling, mishandling toxic waste, importing items with lead that kids handle, pumping everyone full of HFCS and pre processed cancer foods, shove disaster victims in asbestos coffin.. I mean temporary
homes, etc etc.
But God forbid a company makes ECU tuning software to “turn off catalytic converters and particulate filters”, yet Joe Blow can go fill up his private aircraft on leaded fuel and dust the sky with no emissions equipment.
Scary time to be at a tuning company. Wonder if they’ll try to pursue COBB or any smaller tuners for disabling emissions features.
I’m going to go live in a condom so I’m safe from the world and all it’s bad stuff.
Wow.They have already busted Cobb (in 2016) and a smaller tuner (Evans, 2017).
