CA smog and single turbo
have people in california had any success passing smog with single turbo setups. i understand its possible to pass the sniffer with a hiflow cat and electric airpump, but the visuals are a problem.
i'd love to hear what you all are doing....since it seems pretty pointless to have a single if you can't drive it.
the reason i ask is while i'm satisfied with my present fd, i have the opportunity to buy a very nice fd from out of state with an apexi rx6. its a nice upgrade for me, if i can drive it. while it would be a occasional track and weekend car....it must be driveable on the road.
thanks

ps.....yes i did a search, no it wasn't terribly helpful.

What CAN you do...
What CAN you do to your car in Cali and pass smog. I mean from what I hear, open element filters are not smog legal. So does that mean that an FC with a larger turbo, FMIC and various other parts wouldn't pass? Should I just move???

Well damn!
Thanks for the link! It looks to me like just about anything you can do to improve the performance of a car is illegal. I dunno how I'm gonna get away with it

You can search by modification part for an EO number, gives you an idea of what is legal. There is a LOT of HKS stuff that is CARB legal. Not that I use it anyway..
