STS Turbos will be 50 state legal!
Squires Turbo Systems has been working with the California Air Resource Board to offer a street legal and emissions approved turbo system for their California based customers. The time has finally come! Three weeks ago at a testing station in Riverside, an STS powered 2004 GTO not only passed the required test, but it passed with 75% lower emissions than stock! They were informed yesterday that their C.A.R.B. number should be awarded by the end of this week. This C.A.R.B. number will have a blanket policy for all of the GM based kits. This is great news for us, and for all of our power hungry potential customers in California.
A little celebration sale is needed so we are offering $250.00 off all STS Turbo kits and 10% off their accessories that are ordered through August 31st.

We would like to second that! Our state has been the toughest to build power in for a long time and not get grief from "The man" so this is a relief. We have been doing "emissions friendly" engine packages and tunes for people to pass the sniffer test here in CA for quite some time. It will be nice to be able to have another option for forced induction on our vehicles to stomp the competition with. Our personal Shop vehicle is attempting to be the highest output SMOG COMPLIANT F-body in California, Everything from the engine to the turbo kit is pointed tward passing the emissions test and making some amazing numbers for us here in CA very soon! We are happy to be the Southern California STS dealer and on the STS team!

no it couldn't be the fact it was tuned properly.
must be backpressure.....
you really think at idle and 2000 rpm there is enough difference between having the turbo there and a muffler to cause the cats to work harder????
I seriously doubt this.

It's the tuning. The stock tune is generic and works with a lot variables in mind; Altitude, temperature, small differences in engine components, etc...
If you could get a wide band tuning on your car in the area that you live in, you would see a benefit in not only performance, but also emissions.
This is great news for us Cali guys. Some of us have been waiting for this.
Thanks Tom for the sale too.
