Interested in picking up a GTI eventually, but want to see if different states have different engine codes like they did for the mk6 (CBFA vs CCTA).
Thanks

California GTI engine designation?

I'm sure there's people in California that bought cars from other states. You still have to pay the CA sales tax. I had a Civic that I brought in from New Jersey. It passed smog and I was able to register the car.
My state is a carb state now too. Absolutely hate how hard of an obvious hustle carb is. Makes me wonder why the hell did folks in Cali bend over and take that
all the exhaust shops here had to get rid of all their epa compliant cats. Because they weren’t carb approved. Only magnaflow had a carb compliant cat. And those bitches are on back order while thieves are ripping out peoples cats in the middle of the night. It’s fucked.
locally many have been trying to push carb out of the whole damn state. Hell Colorado Springs said fuck it and removed emissions all together in protest. I do my part and go to these protests (pre COVID) too and sign every petition I can. Carb is an unnecessary hustle.

California should just secede from the US and become their own country. Then other states won't copy their bullshit.
It's not a matter of copying. It's a whole ass racketeering ring. Just to get anything carb certified u gotta pay out the ass for it. Catbacks don't add to smog. Neither would an intake. Yet they have to be certified. The manufacturer has to pay carb a fuck ton of money so carb can test the product themselves.
So carb tells these states. Hey u wanna make some money. And these states implement carb and have to jack up emissions prices because they have to cut carb in on profits. But the states are ok with this because now they're making more off of emissions while allowing their cops to send people to the carb reffs for any bullshit infraction. And carb opens the doors to particular new laws and procedures that will in turn bleed more people dry.
My friend has been to the carb ref at airfare 3 freaking times now because of his exhaust. And his exhaust is fucking stock. Fuck carb.
Yet. They're setting up those drive through ones in cali. County by county and little by little. Sadly.
Here in my neck of the woods they're sprouting up in rural areas.

How do these surveys affect consumers?
Participation in the survey is voluntary. There are no consequences to consumers, regardless of their vehicle's emission control equipment or its emission levels. At the conclusion of the inspection, the participants receive a Vehicle Inspection Report (VIR) detailing the results of the test.We already have that here. Except if you do two runs in a 12 month period but x amount of months in-between runs. It will count towards your smog check.
I think the 2021 GTIs use DKFA engines in North America. 2016-2018 are CXCB. This is an informative link:

Wasn't one of the reasons for the switch to the 20wt is to improve mileage?
- Fuel Economy
- CXCA / CXCB - 25 mpg city / 34 mpg highway (manual)
- CXCA / CXCB - 25 mpg city / 33 mpg highway (DSG)
- DKFA - 24 mpg city / 32 mpg highway (manual)
- DKFA - 25 mpg city / 31 mpg highway (DSG)
