Suggestion
when inquiring about a visual test evo said that it would pass since, commonly with a boxster, the engine cover is not removed and they just go through the OBDII port (at least that's what they do in AZ).

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

1 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

...do they do a visual inspection of the engine compartment? the reason i'm asking is that i am thinking about doing the evo intake mod. i just called evo and they said that the highflo intake is CARB pending but it will pass the smog test. when inquiring about a visual test evo said that it would pass since, commonly with a boxster, the engine cover is not removed and they just go through the OBDII port (at least that's what they do in AZ). this being my '98's first time to be smogged i need some advice. should i wait till after the smog test to do the mod wait a couple of yearsfor the next test, replace with the old/stock air box then install evo kit again? where should i go to for the test, some generic smog joint, a porsche tuning place or the dealer? thx carlos (san jose)
