California Will Start Testing for ECU Tunes During Smog Checks Starting Next Week

[varg]

Nice quip about me being "ok" with things, you missed the point. The point is not that tuning is technically illegal in CA and even federally, everyone on this forum knows that and you've broken no news here. The point is that there is a distinction between flashing your ECU and failing smog and purposefully circumventing the law and distributing the means to do it (or taking money to do it) It's not advisable to flaunt such things because the government loves to make an example, pretending otherwise is naive. These shops haven't been getting shut down because they tricked the smog man, they're getting shut down because they did it brazenly.
