G'day mate, I had a similar issue a little while back with a odd smell to exhaust and white puff. After much asking around and checks the problem revealed itself as a blown headgasket. It was bizarre, like a hairline crack in the seal ring that was letting water into bore. The indicator to this was having to refill radiator overflow bottle every two weeks or so. I hope this isn't the case for you, but may help you to solving your problem

Pretty sure epa don't care what cosmetic modifications you've done. You could have a huge ass kit hanging all over the road for all they care.

Should put the stock air box back on at least.

As said above, wheels and yada yada is the least of your worries. You should be thinking about restricting your exhaust and getting a Cat convertor on asap before the inspection!.

epa check everything buddy

ur front mount wont affect the emmisions test

not too sure about turbo cars but for NA cars generally black smoke means running rich and white smoke means gasket problem (most cases).

They will get you to put a cat converter back on and to be safe, put your stock exhaust back on at the same time. Even still if your stock exhaust is too loud they get you to put a resinator in. Noise level has to be below 90 decibels (90' model cars and before)

They will check your O2 Sensor to see if the car is running too rich or lean. They want it perfect.

BOV (Noise), Oil catch can = EPA will say WTF is that? (They probley have no idea what it is but they will not like it), high mount turbos = forcing more air = more emissions bla bla bla...

Air pods you can get away with

Intercooler I had no problems with

[krush]

how are high mounts forcing more air exactly? how can they dispute that?

fwiw, i had my 32 over the pits in qld recently and they had me 'reinforce' the hole i cut for the intercooler piping. noone knew exactly what reinforcing was though, and let me tell you i saw ever mechanic and panel beater around here. its only the splash guard i cut for the normal intercooler kits, and everyone i saw said it was a joke for something non-structural.

it really gets on my nerves the things they come up with.
