[QUOTE="derklug, post: 16016066, member: 138123"] For a vehicle to meet it's emmisions standards, the entire system needs to be working as designed. You can program better fuel economy, which many would think leads to lower emissions, and you would be wrong. There are numerous trade-offs that engineers have to make to get a vehicle to meet emissions and get the best power and fuel economy possible. The EPA came down on tuners that set up their chips to meet standards when run on an emissions dyno long before VW thought of it. Convertor "test pipes" were one of the first products that I remember the EPA going after. What is coming down is the end to slapping an "Off-road use only" tag on any piece of performance software that you care to market. I don't like it, but the coal rollers stuffed it right in the face of the EPA until they had to do something. [/QUOTE]
