I feel your pain. I live in California and had to take my car to the
local monkey boys to get it smogged, results- same as yours she blows
clean out the exhaust..But.. The guy balked at my Samco hoses saying
they weren't stock, and, "Well, Im going to have to pull out the book on
this one.." and then wanted to know what that hose barb on the WG cap is
for and why it vents to open air.. He almost failed me for the visual
inspection at that point. The guy quipped that"Audi makes nice cars, but
they are soo quirky.. Kinda like a FIAT!" Yeah, kinda like a fiat..
right..

Oh well..
