All supplied fuel hoses are either Avon‘s CADbar 9000 series or a stock factory replacement, and fuel and vapor line connectors supplied with the kit are OEM equivalent parts. Maximum boost is 10 psi. This Executive Order is valid provided that the installation instructions for the Supercharger System will not recommend tuning the vehicle to specifications different from those submitted by the device manufacturer. Changes made to the design or operating conditions of the Supercharger System, as exempt by the Air Resources Board, which adversely affect the performance of the vehicle‘s pollution control system shall invalidate this Executive Order.

Examination of the OBD II system showed that the supercharger kit did not affect OBD II system operation. Results from emission testing conducted at Quantum Technologies, located at Lake Forest, California, are shown below, in grams per mile, with deterioration factors (df) applied to Cold—Start CVS—75 Federal Test Procedure modified test results. 2013 model year Scion FR—S CVS—75 FTP NMOG CO NOx HCHO Standards, 50K* 0.075 3.4 0.05 0.015 Device Test w/df 0.023 0.6 0.03 0.001 USs0o6/SC03 NMHC+NOx cCO Standards 4k 0.14/0.20 8.0/2.7 Device 0.05/0.08 7.210.2 * USEPA Tier 2 Bin 5, Counted as LEV II LEV, CVS—75 FTP emissions standards.
