Finally passed CA smog!

After replacing the cat converter I took the car to be smog checked one more time and it passed. It really isn't a good thing to run very long with leaking exhaust valve (ask me how I know). I also replaced the O2 sensor with a universal Denso model along with the cap & rotor. Now I just have to do the timing chain tensioner and turbo. The car is running well except for a stumble it's developed since getting the exhaust valves fixed on cylinder 1. I get boost to a little more than half way into the orange, but when I push it to 3/4 it starts to stumble (almost like a miss) and the boost will drop back down. I'm thinking it may be the turbine tapping against the housing since it is a little loose. I'll be taking care of this as soon as possible.
