If there is no Carb certified turbo's for our cars, what are all the Cali Turbo'd G's doing about the emission test? Do you have to take the turbo off every year and return the car to stock just to pass emissions or is there something else you do? Everyone that owns a turbo'd G, please chime in. Just curious.

 

I don't think its every year. there is certain restrictions and it also depends on how old is your car.... i believe it has to be very old too. You also need smog when your registriation is expeired or title transfer. you can find out more at www.dmv.ca.gov

 

vortech is carb (i know its not turbo, but its close enough for me)

 

I haven't had to smog a car in a long time so I looked it up.

According to this sheet if you are the original owner and it was smogged the first time it was registered for the first 6 years no smog checks are needed.

On the 7th year and every year after it is every other year smog checks. Change or ownership smog checks are required from the 5th year on out. I got to that pdf from here http://www.smogcheck.ca.gov/stdFolde...fo/Factsheets/

 

didn't someone tell you that curiosity is what killed the cat? or in this case, the transformer?

 

most people i know with serious modifications will just pay to have it passed.

 

pretty hard to do these days with the new smog setups.

 

I need me one of these hook up.

 

We ride dirty. Illegal as hell...

A few turbo'd cars on this forum have already been rolled by the cops.

 

Pray Hard!!!

 

Fight the man!
