It is such a grey area!

The ADR (79 I think it is now, used to be 37 from memory) which sits above state state legislation in effect is not very clear on the matter of after market computers. In fact it almost leaves it to the discretion of the engineer if indeed anyone at all.

Then you have to admit that the rules\rulings and so on don't keep up with the technology (you have seen this before in other arenas). Most factory computers can be tuned or jacked or hot rodded by some method. So strictly speaking they are 'tuneable'.

If you have the option of blue slipping it only give it a try. The fact that different people at the RTA and indeed the EPA give you different stories etc only makes this less black and white!
