Ecutek tuned brz evap system showing not supported

I had the SBD turbo kit on my car for a few years, and tuned it myself with ecutek. It ran really well and surprisingly always passed the emissions inspection (Utah).. Recently it did not, and they said i'd have to remove the turbo kit. I had an EBC wired into where the CPC solenoid goes. I removed that, and wired the regular solenoid back up.

When I took it to the state inspection station completely stock, they said it's failing because the Evap system is showing 'not supported'. This is different than not ready of course, which would be an easy fix of driving it more. Does anyone know why the evap system specifically would show not supported, could the cpc sensor having an issue cause this, or is it specifically tuning related?

I could not find anywhere you could turn off the emissions readiness monitors, so I have no idea how it could have been turned off. It still has an ecutek tune and racerom, I'm not sure if using racerom disables this because it expects to hijack the purge solenoid for boost control.

It's worth noting that I can turn on and off evap related DTCs but this doesn't change the emissions readiness, which always shows not supported.

What is your calibration ID? I'm assuming you are running a tune with the evap function unavailable.

CalID is ZA1JA01I. But you're right that would make sense. I noticed the EGR system was enabled, and we obviously don't have that. It was based off a 'stock' rom from ecutek.

These are the CalIds ecutek says are compatible with my ecu. I tried most of them and none enable the evap monitors. So I'm wondering if it's actually a different calId entirely.

Those are Euro CalId's and is far as I know they don't have any Evap monitors. You're going to need a ZA1JB01D (US AT).
