i am pretty sure external wastegate makes you fail visual inspection so you may have a problem

for fuel, tune to 14.7:1, little known fact is emission are lowest at 14.7:1 and increase as you go richer/leaner.

and at least put some effort into fixing the oil burning issue...

myshtern, are you sure external gates cause a fail? and do you know why the hell that is?

My Z passed visual for years without any emissions equipment. No EGR was the most noticable. If anything I'd think those monkeys at Envirotest would pass an external wastegate thinking it was an EGR.

As far as oil burning, you can try some additives like "Motor Honey" to get the smoke down. Be sure to change that crap out as soon as you pass though. ;UgH:
