Sure that's not just something the manufacturer has to comply too?

That applies to modifications as well as normal servicing/wear and tear type issues, this is why we have reflashable ECU's it is part of the OBD2 protocol that a manufacturer must be able to update a tune if they find the car falls out of emission levels later in it's life Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/78675-taking-on-the-epa/page/5/#findComment-1186449 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ohh the irony. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/78675-taking-on-the-epa/page/5/#findComment-1186452 Share on other sites More sharing options...
