Oh, ok. I've seen the thing on the opening page about the I5 H3, Colorado, and Canyon on there for a bit. I thought it had been on there for a bit, but my memory isn't the greatest for that. Is that a future project at all?

I would like to clairify my statement by saying after the rear O2's on obd 2 vehicles.


I have yet to see a car get turned down for having a modified muffler or free flowing air filter and both of those will change emissions .

The ARB. Do you think changing the tune is Compliant?

Having been through 15 different EO certification's and hours of classes on the topic, I can tell you that adding a turbo to your truck is not going to be CARB compliant. You are altering the calibration, therefore the truck will not be legal. He would need to baseline the vehicle at an ARB certified lab, install his turbo kit, and tune it, then take the truck back and preform the regiment of tests over again. The truck would more than likely not pass the test after the install.

I've always heard it the same as you're saying Brian. Anytime you change the calibration it must be a C.A.R.B. certified calibration for it to technically pass. All of the Magnacharger kits pass except the tuner kits if I recall correctly?

10-4, if you purchase a supercharger system from us without the calibration you DO NOT get the serial numbered EO sticker.

No, that "coming soon" has been there for nearly 4 years.

it is but then again we have everything. Why not just go back to the blower idea and just swap it off when smog time comes?
