[DML] Re: Emissions Tuning

["David Teitelbaum" <jtrealty@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

With these #'s adjustments aren't going to get you to pass. You
probably need a tune-up and an oil change to even get close. You may
not ever pass without putting cats on. The exhaust leak only helps but
you won't pass with a noticable leak. At idle the turbos mean nothing
unless the oil seals are leaking. Pull the output pipes and see if
there is oil inside.
