Is it possible to force emissions readiness on the CCTA motors using Vagcom? P0420, car be smokin' that pack, o2 spacer isn't doing it's job very well, might have to try another one.

Are you flashed stock tune?

I had to go to stock and I got rediness within 10 miles.

You can, but forcing readiness just means it'll go through the cycle instead of of driving it ~100 miles. If there's still issues it'll pick up on them. How do you have the O2 spacer oriented?
I took it out becuase I got P2069 (secondary o2 lean) with the spacer on the shortest setting and downstream (in theory would read most rich of all settings).

No, I thought K04 not good with stock tune, and I have a different map sensor, so it could fuck it up.
I have a previous Sneeky K04 tune made for emissions (pre EPA crackdown), it was made for a catted DP, I'm catless now, which I doubt would change the result of turning off the rear o2 monitor to pass, however I have that 4bar map sensor now, instead of the stock one.

I thought you did the Montana plate thing?

No need for emissions
This is more about the CEL. I'm still trying to get through the Montana registration, it just turns out it's more expensive than I thought and I'm having second thoughts. Some of the process is still unclear because I'm doing it all myself instead of paying 800-1000 bucks for one of the companies to do it.
It would be a no brainer if my car were worth 20k+, but the reality is that it's a small mk6 and in comparison to the cost of the car, a lot of stuff is more expensive than I'd wan it to be and it's hard to justify.

What's the cost of renewing a plate in TX each year?

At 11+ years a permanent Montana plate is $87. Or you can pay $30 for renewal each year.

Yeah but to get a title through an llc is a few hundred if you're using a registered agent, meaning that they've figured out the loophole and rather than closing it, they'd rather just charge more for each vehicle, a lot more.
In TX it's probably quite cheap.

I'm trying to call the MT office to figure out if I actually need a title and to get a full cost breakdown before I go ahead and spin up the LLC. They won't answer the phone, busy counting their cash or something.

I ran stock tune with K04 just kept it out of boost. Got it through emissions and flashed it back. Car ran great.

I am not catless tho. Uni disables the rear sensor so I could't get redness either until I went back to stock tune.

Nah, but coffee is. And will help the dump along.
It's back to being FREEZING here and I'm not a fan. But it looks like my FSB should be delivered today, so that's rad. And maybe I'll get the instruction email for the 918 so I can start that 3000 piece monstrosity lol
