any sigle turbo kit doesn't require remving air-pump?

Hi, guys, i would like to upgrade to a single turbo kit, but i live in BC which require passing air-care (emission control) to renew insurance, just wonder if there's any turbo kit which the turbo doesn't sit in the way of the air-pump (smog pump), so i can keep the air-pump for aircare.

P.S. i tried passing aircare without the air-pump last week, with leaned fuel map, retartded IGN map, 1:5 Methyl Hydrate to fuel and it failed HC very badly, so i had to hook up the air-pump to a highflow cat with air inlet and then it passed, so i strongly believe the air-pump is needed for air care.

The A-spec kit is about the nicest production kit you will find that allows you to keep the airpump. Call up Sean.

I have the A-Spec GT35R 1.06 AR T3 short exhaust manifold kit which allows keeping the air pump.

BUT you have to custom modify the pump by rotating the output pipe to clear the turbo and make a new AP bracket and use a longer belt.

There were two writeups on it back in 2005. The first by me which no longer has the attachements on the thread and another one who used my bracket design.

If you get it, PM me and I can send you my installation PDFs.
