MOT Northern Ireland
Just to let you all know my car passed the MOT, now some would say, no big thing!!!! But and there is always a but, he was going to fail me on my turbo timer, I managed to fiddle with it to get it to zero time, and all was well, so just a heads up for all you guys with turbo timers, be aware.
Another point of note is that i have no cats in my scoob just a pipe from turbo to small back box, and it passed the emissions test.

Curoius as to how or why they would or could fail you for having a turbo timer fitted. I switched mine off part way through the test because it becoming a pain in the *** for the tester, but there was no suggestion of failing the test because of it.
Can you offer anything more??

Anyway he said that because of risk of engine running on in a crash ie not turn off he said that it was a danger and would fail me, but I then turned it off and when I showed him this he passed me, although the look on his face when I did this was ...... well let me just say that I would of floored him on the spot if I could of got away with it.

Lets be thankful not too many people have a turbo timer then lol. I'd fail cars with them anyway if I was a tester.
As for emissions. After March/April next year, it will fail. They dont test for a functioning cat over here yet, so there is no reason for it to fail on that count
