They are illegal because they vent air that already has been measured by the afm, making the engine run rich for a very small amount of time. and cause it runs rich, the epa cracks the sh!ts

:evil: This really give me the sheeites. Why dont the ETA concentrate on those oil burning 180b's and 86 magna's out there, instead of the minute difference made by a few seconds of richening in our turbo cars?

Simple answer: Because the big money, is generally with the big perofrmance scene, instead of mr and mrs Joe Average who use their bomb for work and cannot really afford to pay the rego in some cases. Hotted up cars have been on the crackdown in the last 20 years so its nothing new. Now with the faster and faster imports, they are cracking down on a lot of things, and also the fact that big money to do up the car, means big money is paying for its non-compliance and cannaries. Flash the car, and people think you got the cash.
