So here's the story
I have to have my car passed by a Star certified station. Took it in and I failed the first attempt

Failed visual inspection because I had a CAT from a ford truck. Awesome. Also failed the test itself.
Got a new cat on yesterday. Took it directly to the smog shop. Failed again. HC was high at 15.

The smog guy told me to bring it in Tomm (today) drive it hard 15 miles and get the cat hot. Also to fill up with 91 and use octane booster and it will pass.
I did exactly that and failed again today.

Now my NOx is high.
I was told by QUKBMER that if I fail a third time that I would then have go to a state refree station. I asked the guy before we tested if that was true since I would make 100% sure it would pass and not risk a failure. and he said it was not, if I fail I just keep trying until I pass. Now my form says gross polluter so I don't know what the fuck is going on.
I'm pretty stumped here. Smog guy said it has an airleak. Idles fine. Idk. What do you guys think?
