I was set on a vortech but the more I read about turbos the more I like them. Does anyone make a turbo kit with a CARB# and that will pass smog here? When I look at car pics with a turbo it looks like nobody runs a smog pump.

I knew that Spearco made intercoolers, but I didn't know they made turbo setups. They are a highly regarded company in the turbo world.

Hellion lets you keep your smog, but I think it is not CARB Approved.

I called a few places that makes turbo kits for are cars and they all said the same thing. It just cost to much for the CARB#. I guess they don't see a market for turbos in California Maybe I can get a used Incon kit if I can even find one for sale.

Might not be that bad because I can still make block splitting power with a supercharger I just like how efficient turbos are.
