emissions will get stricter and soloutions more complex, thats pretty likely, but modern gas engines really dont have more things attached to them than early emissions cars. In most cases they have less since they dont have an EGR, dont have a smog pump, dont have any of the strange early fixes really. They manage emissions with computer controls and catalytic converters. Im not going to count electronics, DOHC, VANOS (and similar) or other items like that as DOHC first was used in 1912 and vanos was introduced in 1992 (other variable cam timing schemes were in use in cars as early as 1980) and electronics were arguably introduced for a whole selection of reasons including but definitely not limited to emissions.



not a good sign, hope you get that worked out. Coding EGR out/down would be the biggest reason for me to go this route, and im sure im not alone.
Agree 100%. Also placed a call to Redline Speedworx this morning and spoke to Mark. They are only a ~2 hour drive from me. Hoping to find out more about how much EGR coding is possible from Mark / Stan. TDI, keep us posted if you hear anything. Thanks.
