.....well if it has a front mount on it or a bov he was right to defect you, but if he has defected you on fact that you pod isnt covered he is wrong. I would call rta take it there show them first could save you alot of money, (Take the boost contoler off first) they can clear any decfect or blueslip there. If the cop has mad a mistake i have done it before saved me 80 bucks on the roady and it was a defect i got for a pod filter
