Default Pass smog w/ Turbo?

Are there any turbo systems that will pass the california smog test? I'm not talking about just the sniffer either, i mean the visual and everything and comes with a carb number. I would absolutely love that phamspeed kit but living in cali i think i might be forced to go w/ an Ati D1.

well most turbo kits will pass the sniffer if you are running cats still.

They won't pass visual is any way. You need to have the CARB sticker to pass. My STS kit fails the visual test even with stock manifolds, cats, etc.

Here in the great state of California, you will be forced to go with the P1.
D1 is illegal here

STS is supposed to be working on getting CARB approval though, last I heard.

I've heard you can pass the D1 off as a P1.
