Ignition timing also effects emissions, especially the formation of NOx. I
know many don't care but that is why our engines are low compression and
de-tuned. The only thing our engines have besides the low state of tune to
control NOx is the 3 way catalyst and O2 sensor system. VW did what they
could to save money including not adding EGR. Tampering with settings is a
primary reason that almost all adjustment capability has been taken away
from current vehicles.
