Follow that link and talk to the guy. He's working on it and making it open source.
Sadly, that compromise is the issue with this being mechanically controlled (or am I wrong?) re: the 603 IP pump issue.

Ideally, I'd love it to make big power, but also have a nice low burn rate at cruise. With electronic (especially modern, DI stuff) injection and control this is no issue, but can you get a mechanical pump to give you the best of both?

Unfortunately, at the time, I'm stuck in CA, so with our smog requirements (visual inspection only, but still it includes a code scan), I'm scared this would be an issue.

606 standalone controller

Yeah I'm going mechanical. I have a 1970 220D, 115 chassis. I want a driver that doesn't need electronics and is reliable. I'll hop up the elements slightly in the 617, little bigger turbo, little head work. Goal being 200 horsepower. You start messing with them and can heat them up. I want an iron head.

Realistically, I don't want a built 606 in a daily driver because I won't control myself. I'll keep it tuned up and foot down everywhere I go and get 10 mpg. Lol.

I'm thinking one day I'll do a 606 with electronic control in an 108 280sel.

I'm in Cali too. 98.5 and up is trouble.

You can tune your pump down. It's just a smoke test. I had a 98.5 cummins dodge truck, thought I was smog free. Oops.

It had bigger injectors and turbo. Would smoke a little. We just tuned it down for smog.

I had another one that wouldn't pass. I went back 5 times and they finally said "it passed!" And winked. It's just a visual test.

However your problem is everything else in your car needs the ecu. Even the key.

I've seen people put slightly larger elements in the ip and a bigger turbo with stock ECU and good results. They said they were gonna flash the ECU, but never reported back.

That super turbo diesel forum gets in it deep.

Then your problem is reflashing for smog. Or finding the spot.
