[DML] Re: Not passing emissions

["David Teitelbaum" <jtrealty@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Make sure the timing is set right, and the vacuum advance is hooked up
correctly and working. On the Island setup there is no mechanical
advance. Check for vacuum leaks. You may have to adjust the mixture
but do not do it to compensate for vacuum leaks. They have to be fixed
first. Pull the output pipes from the turbos to the intake manifold
and if the insides are oily you have to have the leaky turbo rebuilt.
You may need to replace the silicone hoses and clamps on the Island
turbo plumbing. They MUST not leak. Check the control hoses too. Any
leaks will allow you to overboost. Pull the oil fill and you should
not see any pressure coming out. You can hold a piece of paper over
the opening to determine if air is coming out of the crankcase. You
should be running synthetic oil on a turbo car.
