    Ahh back to my drama.

    Currently I have permit and engineer cert for these:

    1. Coilovers
    2. Turbo conversion (includes: Plumback BOV, t3/t4 turbo, FMIC, Pace maker Hi Flow cat, Xforce muffler, Turbo back exhaust, recirculated external wastegate) and
    3. Wheels

    I did:

    1. Multiple visits to pits
    2. Engineer report/signatory
    3. 5 gas test with a good result (safe tune@290whp)

    Now I have a temporary permit which expires next month (have to do im240 test to gain permanent permit).

    Gas testing is ok so fair enough to epa, BUT THE SHIT THAT PISSES ME OFF is the lack of organisation of these facilities in which only one PRIVATE company (Kostecki's) is able to perform the test, bloody con-artist and monopoly.

    It is not like eastern states and it is not free. Infact, expect about $700-$1200 fee if it is still being run by private company. Assholes.

    So 5 gas test is $700-$1200 or is that for the im240 test?

    I dont want to be paying $700-$1200 for a test that isnt perminant if thats the case. Fek that joke

    The 5 Gas Test is $110 at Road Bend(welshpool). For IM240, you should be expecting above. I don't think it's worth for you to do 5 gas test now as the IM240 will 'very soon' be implemented/resume. + heard news that kostecki's licence to perform im240 is cancelled.

    I'm in shit as well, my permit expires next month. With PCV on turbo honda, you'll want catch can straight off it but to make it legal, as you would hv knew, just run a 13mm air hose from the catch can to pre turbo pipe as Chris (04051192..) said

    Dude, 15 Yellows sounds like you're on very rocky road.

    Hit me a PM if you want my number, perhaps if you want to look at my supposedly 'legal' setup.

    Sorry i tried to look for "road Bend" as the business name but i couldnt find it. Is that what its called? or is that the road name...little confused.

    Could you give me more detail on this.
