if you are after running a bp(minus the t) for the remainder of your P plates i suggest you forget about it. bpt has low compression and without the turbo to cram more air in there the engine will run like crap, with no power, spending too much fuel..

If you couldn't get your tune redone and pass it with the Haltech, then your tuner is at fault.

Is it the stock turbo?
what mods have you got? exhaust, FMIC, intake, cams? which ecu are you running? Aus Spec or Jap if the tuner couldn't get it to pass EPA standards then as rupe said that is a fault with the tuner My recommendation - take the car to race solutions in penrith, get in contact with "the hitman" He is a god with haltechs, I think he's made babies with them? if he can't get it to pass emissions law.. then you can pretty much bet that it would be impossible to pass. |

He is tunes most brands of ecu. He's tuned a few of my cars and they have always passed emissions at penrith rta. Say that Pete from All I.T. sent ya |

Powertune gave up?...those guys are pretty good at what they do (as far as SR's go)
Go to Indy at IS Motorsports, tell him to get the car street legal (emissions wise) and he will!...
