They did not mention turbo system but I did fail due to...
-No DRL
-muffler touches bumper
-Hood latch problem
-neutral safety switch not working
-oil leak onto exhaust
-exhaust leak where DP meets cat
-rust hole through floor on passenger side
-tinted side/ front markers
I fixed many of these but exhaust and bodywork which I cannot do myself, also have to look into exact source of oil leak - I know the Valle cover leaks but maybe oil pan or turbo return as well
My DRL install somehow made my alarm all crazy, siren won't shut off no matter what...now looking into this

Updates...
DRL's $5 from eBay up and running tapped into interior fuze box blank
added longer universal adjustable exhaust hangers so muffler doesn't touch bumper -like $13 ebay
hoot latch problem fixed - added horizontal brace from hardware store underneath latch where support had been removed for Intercooler - like $8
neutral safety switch wired up
Replaced valve cover gasket with Felpro gasket from Rockauto - suspected source of oil leak
Exhaust finished - linked OEM GTX downpipe to 2.25" flex tubing to 2.25 Magnaflow 91005 High Flow Cat to Pacesetter Exhaust
Floor/Bodywork repaired- used everglass tiger hair just need to paint/apply undercoating to area
removed tint from side markers using throttle body cleaner (looks foggy now, looking for euro ones anyway)
Alarm working now - corroded body ground from negative battery cable
Should be able to pass inspection now And barely me cost anything

Car passed inspection but bit I have to deal with a suspected Rear main seal leak.
In the mean time did a bubble dash swap, what a pain in the a-- but love the results. My old dash was cracked and found a mint one at the wreckers.
