I realize that if you simply disconnect(not remove) SAI it will throw codes and therefore fail SMOG but if you do the ROW re-flash,surely that will prevent the codes occurring and therefore pass smog? Obviously it would fail a visual but on a Boxster ,I don't think even the most zealous Smog Tech is going to go through the whole service-position procedure to do a visual?
Very possible I am missing something?
According to a thread I read on Rennlist as of 2014 CA smog check for 2000 & newer vehicles consists of a OBDII scan for software modifications, & visual inspection of engine & catalytic converters.
