Default legally boosted

i know there are numerous people running boosted honda vehicles, and my question is of legality. Are all these people illegal on the street? i have heard of people having trouble passing emissions. i don't live in CA and am planning to boost my h22a1 on a stock rebuilt block, will i be able to pass emissions??

depends where you live, how you do it and what you make it look like to the inspection station. If the car needs to pass an OBD scan, you need to keep that in mind when selecting your management.
I havent had an issue yet with it in VA... its passed emissions twice since it was boosted.

the only place that has ****-like emissions is Cali
I've brough my straight piped, sr'd s13 to many emissions places and none of them care, they just want to know what clutch i have in it so they dont look like a tard when its on the rollers.

if you have to plug the car in, none of the systems available will allow you to pass.

Emissions? Inspections? Illegal Modifications? What are you all talking about? I just to up to the BMV and get my plates renewed... LMFAO must suck to live in the places you guys do. If I get pulled over it's for a light burned out not my slammed car, loud exhaust, or the Whoosshhh sound when I shift. They just don't care. (damn license plate lights I don't have always getting me warnings)

OP, you need to check your own State's Laws, they ALL vary and CHANGE from place to place.

I know some of the Greddy Kits are Carb legal. To be safe just go through emissions before you slap a turbo on.
