Is it possible to pass the emission test with a full decat by altering the fuelling at idle, I was told that this could be done on a Link ECU.
I have a SAFC2 fitted on a MY00 if during the test I reduce the fuelling to -50% @ 1000rpm will it pass?

No, MOT includes test for lambda and it has to be very close to 1.

You may also fail on HC's too as you may induce a lean missfire, letting un-burnt fuel out the exhaust.

Bite the bullet and put your old centre cat back in or borrow one of another scoobynetter. Should pass when warmed up.
