If you're running the stock fuel rail and everything else stock, the fuel pressure regulator may not be able to bleed off quite enough pressure at low rpm/idle from the big fuel pump.

You might also use a lower heat range plug with a hotter spark at idle/cruise (the tradeoff being more risk of detonation, but they're not doing a WOT run for the emissions test, right?). BKR5E-11 is super common even in some turbo OEM applications like the VG30DETT, I know the 6 heat range is what the CA used stock though.
Thanks for the information. I did think of getting a fuel pressure regulator installed. I guess thats almost a requirement for a road-legal OEM+ build like this.
And they test the car at idle, and at around 2500rpm
