    referee is due to having an sct tune on there. Be sure to tell him yea it is a police packaged vehicle otherwise your going to need to go to a ford dealership and have a stock cal flashed back to her.

    sct tunes cannot pass emissions only tunerpro tunes

    I have had a 'Zack 2.0' tune on my Marauder for the past 9 years. Each time I come up for smog, there has been no issues for me. I know mine has some idle RPM changes because of the UPD's, and I have the K&N CAI.

    I am surprised no one has mentioned Chris at www.ADTR.net

    ADTR has the only CA emission legal blower available. Said blower actually shows up in CA STAR test computer.

    Do you mean Chris has his own EO number? https://ww3.arb.ca.gov/msprog/afterm...es/amquery.php Or are you referring to Vortech already has some EO numbers that apply to Ford 2003 Crown Vic/Grand Marquis/Town Car/Marauder?

    So here is how it worked out, went to the "referee" (expected striped shirt gut with whistle ), he informed me that there was a reprogram of the CPU, I knew that but I had been cleared 3 times before...., also informed me that the EGR tubing had been "modified". My VIN has 666 in it so ... evil car. I took the the marauder to Ford and they are re-flashing the CPU and doing some "legal" rewiring of the EGR tubing. I am totally stoked now that I have "legal' CA car. And I HAVE ALL receipts for work performed, including engine rebuild. She is appreciating as I live along. Hagerty has announced that the Marauders are appreciating much quicker than anticipated. My love of my life!! YOU WILL PRY THIS MARAUDER OUT OF MY DEAD COLD HANDS. On a Funnier note, I mentioned to my sister (motor head) that I want to be buried under a freeway with my hand glued to the steering wheel........... she said OK!

    Get a tune from Mo's Speed shop, sponsor here. He can set you up with a tune that can pass or give you a tune and a return to stock for inspections. Ask for Marty. Tell him MercuryMarauder.net sent you.
