Ok so I get the damn check eng. light to stop coming on, so I take my car to get it smogged and can't pass cause of my areomotive f/p regulator. [Roll Eyes] So my question is do you think I will have any issues with my car running to lean(kaabooom) if I switch back to the stock one just so I can pass. My combo is a 97 gt S-trim 3.33 pulley, aftercooler, 30lbs injectors, 255 walbro, and pro-m 80mm. Thanks

it's at 38... it only takes a minute to change and I do not feel like trying to find another shop that will let it slide, since most of them are being bitches theses days.

So let me get this straight you didn't pass a "visual" with the aftermarket regulator????

You have to be joking.... [Confused]

Yeah, that doesn't make sense since the regulator is part of the S-trim's EO number. I'd take it to another shop. Those guys are obviously morons.

It was not the FMU so and was not part of the S-trim kit. I will see what another shop has to say about it.

If it means you will pass by just changing the FPR back to stock, you might as well...The stock FPR usually runs 35-40psi, so you'd be ok to drive it to the smog shop with it installed...
