This is how the turbo looked at the outlet. Not sure if its good or bad but my guess is it should breathe somewhat cleaner now.

tried to wiggle the turbo and it feels tight

there is a screw clamp at the turbo outlet but you also have the egr cooler which attaches to the dpf. so you would need 2 block off plates. one for where the egr valve connects to the turbo and another for where the egr connects to the dpf.

Did I mention my DPF is for sale? :P

according to some other tunes ive seen apparently theirs still passes emissons. but this particular one trough TRF tunning will show "not ready"

maybe thats a good feature add for the future for TRF tunning to get it to show "not available" instead of "not ready"

not sure how many components are diesel emissions related. here in illinois for gas cars you can have up to 2 systems not ready.

Diesel commercial trucks get tested but not diesel passenger cars.

another option is to just pay someone to let you register your car on another state. I think this is what I would do if Illinois changes their mind Il register to some relatives home in Florida where nothing ever gets tested

all tho the way trump is tearing up the EPA i think they will cut back on testing if anything.
