How do i get around ever having any codes show up because i won't be able to get inspected when the time comes with lights on.

You're putting a foreign system in your car that completely alters the way the engine behaves. READ: you WILL get a CEL.

Consider yourself lucky then, because everyone I know who has boosted their Z has gotten one.

ok why though, i mean whats your defense here, i want to know the actual reason its throwing codes. . i understand if it is a catless kit to throw that code which can be fixed with defoulers. but engine light there is another reason. are you or everyone you know running reflash or tuned with ems. which ems? which kits?

It's mainly P0300 codes for misfires, or run-rich codes. Doesn't matter what kit you run, if you upgrade your injectors and get a piggyback EMS, chances are you're getting a CEL.
