FSI has installed 15 UAOS's this year on their engines..
Leading evidence: 'Install 15 uaos's this year' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Check time, need not be worried' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

Suggestion · Original poster
Anyone in CA concerned that a larger engine from FSI may give them issues come smog check time, need not be worried.

Suggestion
I have a 3.8 FSI and the only thing I have to do is change the x-pipe back to stock exhaust once every two years.

Suggestion
UAOS will pass Emission "sniff test", and according to CARB Apendix G , the visual will not be a problem either as it need no "exemption code number" on the part.

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.

Thought it was worthwhile to mention I just had to do my CA smog check for this year's registration this weekend. I had FSI build me a 4.0L last November and I've put 6k miles on it since. The car passed with flying colors. Anyone in CA concerned that a larger engine from FSI may give them issues come smog check time, need not be worried.
Nice! Thanks for the report out. I'm on this path now with the 3.8L. If your 4.0L makes it, the stage1 is a cake walk. The process seems easier than it used to be. I think it is now simply an interrogation of the DME. I can't remember when any of my cars were put on the dyno with a tail pipe sniffer.
Mine has the UAOS. It is visually different, but doesn't have the boy racer look. I would expect it will not be noticed. I'll let you know in 1.5 years...
Your engine was probably done before the UAOS had proven itself.
FSI has installed 15 UAOS's this year on their engines..
UAOS will pass Emission "sniff test", and according to CARB Apendix G , the visual will not be a problem either as it need no "exemption code number" on the part.
After taking FSI's 1st engine rebuild class, I rebuilt my original 2000 Boxster engine with 60K miles to 3.6 liters. Once finished I passed smog test with emisions about half of the prior tests.
I have a 3.8 FSI and the only thing I have to do is change the x-pipe back to stock exhaust once every two years. It passes the sniff, but fails the visual.
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
