It seems the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) havn't been doing their job properly. They're regulating a billion dollar industry to prevent pollution. Anyone with expertise in testing ECU's and diagnostic data should have picked up on this trick mod to the ECU - the numbers won't add up. My car has "warm up" mode - get the engine hot and "limp home" mode something's wrong, they just added another mode - fool the dyno machine mode its the emissions police. Any fool who puts a car on a dyno machine and expects that emission data to reflect real life driving characteristics should get some level of scrutiny too. They fell for it with their flawed testing apparatus.
