My smog guy here in ca only really cares if the car passes the sniffer and has a cat. He doesn't care if the cat is not in the stock location. My question is will a large single turbo affect the sniff test? Looking to forge the bottom end and install the PTK single with a 4" mufflex cat back with a high flow 4" cat somewhere in there. Will my car pass the sniffer? thanks for the input.

yes it will as long as you are running cats

i think that would matter on your cam.

don't most turbo cams or all of them have almost no overlap to keep the boost up? which means they are emissions friendly? Don't they have high lobe separations.

MOST...but if you look at some peoples cams theyre still in the 23X/23X duration with high lift and about a 114 lsa which might not pass.what cam are you going to use?

Well my cam now is a 222/224 .581 114 would like to reuse it or I will just go with a new smog friendly turbo cam if needed.

NP.pm Ed Blown Vert who lives in CA about his supercharged setup.he's making almost 600rwhp i believe and passed smog,ask about his cam for reference.

I would think the turbo wouldn't make any difference at the rpms used in the test; the cam is the important factor (and tuning, of course).

My 224/224/114 0.588 (with long tubes) passed the CA sniffer... but barely.
