yeah. i've heard of people with boost gauges failing too but i still don't get how it has anything to do with emissions, which is what i got my ticket for. they guy himself even said it doesn't.

I might be too late for this, but if they signed you off already for what they got you for, then you can still show the judge that what you got in trouble for has been corrected, regardless of if that boost gauge isn't supposed to be there or whatever.
Back when I was 16 I got in trouble for an intake and exhaust on my swapped crx, which I had to swap back to the sohc motor. They saw that my pcv hose wasn't connected to the stock one on there and instead connected with a separated hose. The ref told me I passed everything except for that visual. Well, I went to the judge telling him that I didn't pass the visual part and I wanted to reschedule. But he told me as long as I corrected what I was ticketed for then everything was all good.
Hope this helps you, and I might visit my friends in Davis this upcoming spring break, maybe I can check out your ride.

i read up on the violation description a few weeks back. i'm just wondering if i had any other options other than paying the $400. the officer who wrote me the ticket told me all i had to do was go to state ref and pass smog. i even asked him about any fines and he said there wasn't any. oh well, this is what i get i guess. been a ****ty week for me anyways.

well, i just received my court courtesy letter today and i have a few options.
1) clear ticket by paying bail.
2) provide required proof of correction and pay bail.
3) wish to attend traffic school.
4) enter a plea of "not guilty"
5) wish to submit "trial by declaration" (trial in writing).
those were the only options that i was given in my courtesy letter. i was wondering if yolo county may be different than others because most people i say they were able to just pay a processing fee after showing the corrections. any help would be nice. TIA.
