well to do it legally you could go with a greddy kit and installed by a greddy dealer. (which i hear is A LOT of money) You can go the other boost and supercharge with a jrsc which is 50 state legal (correct me if im wrong). Or get wutever you want and uninstall your turbo right before you do a smog check. Or pay off a coo smog check place so they can pass you.

and if your car can pass smog while boosted, find a place that doesnt care about the visual inspection and have them do it. When my LS and i/h/e cams and a ported head it passed smog. I took it to a shop that didnt care about the visual.

yup, if you dont get proper tuning, you'll also end up blowing your motor like i did. I ran lean for about 3 months on a stupid safc and it eventually blew. I just rebuilt my motor, right now it's n/a, but ill boost it again once my conversion harness comes in
