About to try to get my new turbo 95 miata to pass Denver emissions. Will only need to pass the sniffer test. I need to buy a cat since it just has a test pipe currently. If I spend the buck on carb legal cat, is it worth it?
Unfortunately this thing has an e-manage blue system and not the MS yet. I was hoping to pass with a good tune and cat...this thread gives me hope.

Also note: I am only running 5 PSI currently. I am thinking I can safely pass emissions in boost. I was planning on stepping it up to 10-15 psi after the pass and driving through the road sides in hopes of not having to step it down again.
Should I return the car to stock injectors, open the wastegate fully? Any other tips so I don't have to take the test a few times?

Done emissions a billion times in Denver.
Any cat will do as long as it actually does its job. I never worried about some CARB number. **** California.
Throw some E85 in it.
Done.
If you see a roadside test station, make it a point to go by it a few times a week. Don't coast by just have nice light even throttle as you go by. Sometimes this will negate the need to come in for emissions at all.
Or just register it in Gilpin or something.

Check out all the codes it had! They said I passed CEL but they just didn't bother to look behind my ScanGauge lol.
anyway, buy my cat if you want one.
For everyone else in this thread:
Having a turbo does not change anything in terms of emissions. tuning like a ******** does.
