On a boosted car is a different story because the exhaust velocity is much much higher than on an n/a and freeing up the exhaust can make some big gains. As for legal issues... you can carb certify and legalize a custom turbo kit, but paperwork and $$$ will thwart most attempts. As for the smog issue, if the cat is good, and the car burns relatively good, then I would imagine the car can still pass smog even with a turbo kit... or swap (tail pipe emmissions at least). -------------------- "It's ok to be naked girl...
