Also no need to be a Kaizen fanboi just because that's where you happened to go. You have no personal experience with Dent Sport so why say that? You're acting rather immaturely for someone that has been "in the biz" for 20 years.
I got my sticker this year, 4 months ago. Still not to say nothing has changed but with this being the first anyone is hearing about his just makes it a little???

Don't assume I have "NO" Experiene with DSG, I knew those guys before they where even DSG, They Did ALOT of work for me with my EVO8, I even helped them with their S20 swap into their BMW( Used my EVO's stock Front mount) I was the FIRST perspn to run Bill's Custom Air intake for the EVO's.


Alex and Bill are both very good guys, I have had no issues with them at all. I wnet to Kaizen for other reasons, But IMO is just that IMO.. An Stating my oppion on something is acting immature.

I would like to add to this I have uprev, LTH and a sticker in MA.

Now it sounds like what is being stated is that if you run a custom (forced induction) set up and disable certain sensors to shut off reoccurring CELs then MA will fail you. I have no idea if that's true as I have no CELs or codes/systems disabled on in my car currently. I would guess that this makes sense, if MA now has a way to determine if certain systems were disabled to make it look like you have no CEL/systems not ready, they wouldn't pass you.

However, I don't think this situation applies to the majority of people who would be flashing uprev on a 370z as they would not need to disable any codes/systems to have the CEL off. And also if you ran a big custom set up why would you care? I see tons of cars with the R sticker at car shows, figured it was a badge of honor

Could be. Problem is MA is starting to turn into a mini CA as far as emissions go. They have an enforcement division that is quite brutal and if you get caught violating federal or state emission laws (e.g. removing cats) then they can come down with some really heavy fines.

I've been ticketed for this on my other car, its only ~$150. Total of the ticket was over $750 but the exhaust portion was only ~$150(illegal tint was the most expensive item). Entire ticket was tossed in court. I know they have very heavy fines for shops that remove emissions equipment however. MA is starting to get closer and closer to CA

Fair enough. It's not the first that is being heard of it actually, just first time being report for Nissan, being happening with Evo's for a while. Evo's were getting flagged for having European ROM ID's, since they were flashing with downloaded and shared ROM's. Uprev should keep the same ROM ID so I don't think that's the problem here.
