Has anyone had to remove their 203* Stat because of failed emissions?

It's an interesting point, emissions in diesel. If you change something to reduce soot, such as increase combustion temp, you increase NOx. If you reduce combustion temp, NOx goes down but soot goes up. Future diesel emissions standards will require hugely reduced particulate matter and NOx, that's why we will have Diesel Particulate Filters and some sort of Selective Catalytic Reduction system for NOx.
