TURBONETICS, INC. EXECUTIVE ORDER 0-99-2 TURBOCHARGER SYSTEMS (Page 2 of 3) This Executive Order is granted based on test results verifying that the turbocharger is not functional during the CVS-75 Federa 1 Test Procedure (FTP) driving cycle. However, the ARB finds that reasonable grounds exist to be1 ieve that use of the turbocharger components may adversely affect emissions of motor vehicles when operating under conditions outside the parameters of the previously prescribed test procedures. Accordingly, the ARB reserves the right to conduct additional emission tests, in the future, as such tests are developed, that will more adequately measure emissions from all cycle phases. If such test results demonstrate that the turbocharger components adversely affects emissions during off-cycle conditions (defined as those conditions which are beyond the parameters of the Cold-Start CVS-75 Federal Test Procedure), this Executive Order shall be effectively rescinded as of the date the test results are validated. Further, If such test results or other evidence provides the ARB with reason to suspect that the turbocharger components will affect the durability of the emission control system, Turbonetics, Inc. shall be required t o submit durability data to show that the durability of the vehicle emission control system is not, in fact, affected and/or that the add-on or modified part demonstrates adequate durability. In addition t o the foregoing, the ARB reserves the right in the future t o review this Executive Order and the exemption provided herein to assure that the exempted add-on or modified part continues to meet the standards and procedures o f Title 13, California Code o f Regulations section 2222 et seq. THIS EXECUTIVE ORDER DOES NOT CONSTITUTE A CERTIFICATION, ACCREDITATION, APPROVAL, OR ANY OTHER TYPE OF ENDORSEMENT BY THE AIR RESOURCES BOARD OF CLAIMS OF THE APPLICANT CONCERNING ANTI-POLLUTION BENEFITS OR ANY'ALLEGED BENEFITS OF TURBONETICS, INC.'S TURBOCHARGER COMPONENTS. --.-----.. --.- . .. ..-- ..-. ,, . ,., U_ ---, .- --- - - . ~ b ~ c l ~ofr any n kind, such as "Approved by the Air Resources ~ o a r d "may be made with respect to the action taken herein in any advertising or other oral or written communication.
