The Visual Test is one of the few advantages we have with the Boxster & Smog Tests. Access is so awful ! The Tech is very unlikely to remove the engine cover. If you think this is a risk, just leave the SAI components in place.Really , a Smog Tech is not allowed to unbolt anything on your car. The Referee is a different story.
The DAD system is so effective at finding tampering that the Techs I know don't make much effort with Visuals. The DAD is far more effective because it compares the stock ECU program to your actual. And DAD keep loading more & more data into their system.They are more focused on newer, higher volume cars and known tampering targets (Ricers !,Mustangs,big Mopars,trucks) ,so we may get away with being overlooked ?
