Has anyone failed or had problems with state inspection due to boosting your ride that didn't come that way stock. What are the laws in Texas or is it a city thing. If we are legally restriced how do you guys get around this.

 

We texans all abide by the law.

 

yup. dont mess with texas.

 

texas law states that turbos on non factory turbo cars are illegal.
i see plenty of people that have maanged to pass emission though since many places dont know what came with a turbo and what didnt.

 

whats a turbo?

 

I have had problems only once getting inspected. I had a filter on my valve cover. Plumbed that sucka to my turbo intake and viola, problem fixed (and that's the way it should of been anyhow ) And yes they knew I had a turbo, as soon as they got in the car, they recognized the gauges, electronics; tt, ebc, alcohol inj. and we ended up bs'ing about building motors, nitrous vs turbos vs all motor etc. Cool guys. I have been to two stations like this. In fact everywhere I've taken the car, folks are cool to me cause of the turbo and we end up just shootin' the
$h!t.

 

i am just checking now before i get my hopes up to high and start getting my parts. i pretty much just failed state inpection because i changed out my bumper turn signals to clear ones. i haven't had any problems with cops in the 1-1/2 years that i had them so i figured i could pass inspection. nope. the guy told me that he didn't want to fail me so he didn't test me and said because of my lights, i would fail. he didn't mention anything of my swap so i taught i was in the clear.
