Cali smog
Does anyone know how hard it is for a 88 turbo to pass cali smog tests and how much worst does it get when you wanna upgrade the exhaust and fuel systems? or you just pretty much cant mess with it? Im just asking Cuz i live in GA right now and i plan on moving back to cali someday and i was wonding if i had a chance on passing smog after i upgrade my car??? thanks for your help

you will most likely fail the visual inspection. california is very strict on these type of things, so if you're planning to do a "legal" smog inspection it pretty much has to be 100% bone stock.

Youll only fail a visual if youve messed with stuff under the hood. Other than that, do a tune up, and thats pretty much your best chance without trying to fix anything large.
