No doubt APS is still extremely confident to achieve a CARB exempt order for a purpose designed APS intercooled twin turbo system, loads of engine emission testing has been conducted over the last 9 months with very successful engine emission results, all good.

Also ,note that in Cali , you now have "6 years" before the first emmissions test is required on a post 2000 car. So they have a few years to get it together.

I dunno. I think that most that have jumped ship (to FI) this year are still "early adopters". I think the G35 market is a growing one and most are unaware of TT systems. Having carb certification whilst precluding body changes (no new hood or front bumper) is going to be a BIG selling point. I think that's the reason Vortech is doing so well. I just hope that JWT doesn't jack prices up being the only street legal TT. I know I'm waiting to see how it stands up to the competition...
