This is just a question, and don't want to be flamed about it. Yes I used search and read everything. I live in Az now, and smog is different then Cali. First smog is run in a few Goverment run stations. Its not run in any
kind of shop. Second they have been busted many times for fraud so changes have been implemented to stop this and making a bribe today will land you in jail. So my question is, I have a 97 Gt. So I can swap legally a usdm 97 and higher? Jdm is out, right? Due to egr? Was the turbo mr2 made up to 99? If I just turbo my 5 will I fail a visual? Does the turbo add to smog? I'm doing my research now. I read that a member here failed visual and had to go home and remove his turbo. Maybe I should hold on to stock parts(oil pan, manifold, etc) Thanks ahead guys |

QUOTE(Hanyo @ Feb 15, 2006 - 1:37 AM) [snapback]394197[/snapback] Well lets put it this way, in california any modifcations to your intake in general is illegal. If the smog shop checks, a cold air intake is illegal if it doesnt have a carb sticker. So in california, you can get failed for just having a cold air intake. a carb sticker? what the heck is a carb sticker? i've never had a smog test after putting in my sri. and i was even thinking about upraging to a cai. i don't have to go back to stock or what-not, do i? -------------------- |

If they anal about it, a after market intake can make you fail. carb stands for: California Air Resources Board.
