CARB Legal Turbo Setup???? I have a stock 01 Firebird Formula and its just not fast enough anymore. I would like to put a turbo in it that will give me some good horsepower gains but it will also be a daily driven car. I also want it to pass California Smog. Is this possible or will I have to look toward a supercharger for what I want?
Re: CARB Legal Turbo Setup???? If you have a Cat and run low boost with it tuned lean, with all the tricks of the engine being warm it should / could pass.
unless they prohibit stock exhaust modification.

Re: CARB Legal Turbo Setup???? There are no forced induction kits of any kind that are smog legal in CA. You will fail the visual no matter what the readings on the sniffer
