Re: failed smog test (KnightX)
Now wait just a second. There are C.A.R.B. legal turbos that should pass the E-tests. The California Air Resources Board tests them to see if they do increase emissions, if they don't then they are assigned a CARB# and are very legal. Even in California.
What I would do is find one that is legal and uses the greddy turbo and try to match that set-up. As in timing and boost pressure etc...

you can pass smog with the turbo. he just has to make sure everything is running right. right air/fuel mix, cat working. its a smog legal turbo. so it can pass legally.
