Default CEL on, need to pass DEQ

Hi everyone,

I really need help to pass my car at emmisions. I have a 2000 DX with a greddy turbo kit and I'm also running the E-manage. The only problem I have is that the car is running too rich( CEL code #172). I can't pass DEQ with the CEL on! I really need help. Thank you

Hmmm ok, Do you think I can still lean it out enough with the injectors that Greddy gave me(310cc) with out detonating my egine? Or do think I should reinstall my oem injectors?

you should be able to get it enough to pass the emmisions test. then i would get it on a dyno and get it all tuned so you dont blow it up. oh, and turn the boost down till you pass the test and can add the fuel back.

I don't think I can turn my boost down only because Greedy has it set @ 7 psi and I dont have a boost controller. My boost pressure went up to 8 psi when I added the cat-back exhaust. Any more helpful hints to get me to pass??? ( I really appreciate your help with this)
