Hi Paul
Just out of curiosity which emissions limits are the garage using for you car?
I would expect that the vehicle "First used between 1 August 1975 and 31 July 1986" limits of CO<= 4.5% and HC<=1200ppm would be applied.
I would have thought that it should pass those limits fairly easily unless it's running rich.
I have an MR2 turbo based replica and the garage I used to take it to always applied the Cat Test limits when it should have been the non cat limits. (An exact model and engine match was not present in the MOT In Service Emissions book because MR2 turbos were never officially imported into this country.)
