The reason it won't smog in Cali, is that it's using a TiiCo motor... NOT
a 2000 US spec Golf Motor. If it used a 2000 US spec Golf motor, it would
be a simple motor swap and should be able to get smogged. The issue is
that the TiiCo motor was never offered in a VW that came to the US, so the
CARB (state bureucrats) don't have any emmissions numbers on it. Therefore
it can't be smogged (Peter from TiiCo is supposed to be working on this
issue and says he's "close" to getting CARB approval for the motor... let
me hold my breath and wait for it).
