With a single turbo it would be hard to get a C.A.R.B. number due to the fact that running dual cats in the stock location is probably impossible.


I don't know if C.A.R.B. does exceptions or not, do they?

I think I know what that answer is....with 49 other states to sell to, it probably won't happen. $100,000 for a sticker is a significant investment to have to recoup.

Yea, I know it most likely won't happen, I was just throwing it out there
Not to get off topic, but I don't get why you have to have the CARB number if it passes the sniffer test. Isn't that the point of smog checks?

i am sayin it is good because unless you go all out it is easier because of the gradual pull unlike a screw type blower.

I agree, this is a plus and is what the centrifugal blowers have going for them. The stress of off-the-line TQ (from Radix and Whipple blowers) is a killer to driveline parts.

you guys dont get it. it is easy to brake stall into as much boost as a whipple/radix runs at it's peak, then as soon as you let off the brake and completely floor it you will probably see even more boost depending on where you have it set at.

i see 4-5psi before i even move, 10+psi a split second later.
