turbos affect your car's emissions, therefore there's a good chance that you wont pass =(

Depends what state and what are the emission test requirements. Good question for the regional forum. Also a good question to ask before forced-induction.

Most times as long as the ECU things the emissions are fine then you should be good. You just need to make the comp think they are fine, which chances are it will as long all your monitors are set. Now if you actually have to pass a tail pipe emissions test under load, your prob screwed...lol Add more cats? with v-band clamps and put them in just for the test and only run one set normally.
