For $1,500, something is _very wrong_ with the car somewhere.
As far as passing smog, I can give you the readings from my chipped '86 951 with 145,000 miles that I just had to have checked here in WA:
Idle:
HC: 11
CO: 0.00%
O2: 4.4%
RPM: 820
Cruise:
HC: 19
CO: 0.01%
O2: 3.8%
RPM: 2420
Gear: 2nd
Gas cap failed the pressure test but a $6 replacement from NAPA passed. The NAPA cap will only be used once every other year for smog though, otherwise I'm sticking with the stock locking cap.
Bear in mind that head work will be expensive. probably a couple grand with labor.
